'And Life Was Cheap' was recorded between September 2001 and February 2002.

Jules is accompanied on this album by his 'Band Of Fools'…the ever-present Carl Lewis on drums and vocals, Adam Hood on bass guitar and vocals, and Tommy Pope on lead guitar and vocals. Much fun was had.

Most of the songs for this album were written in New York in 2001. Two of the tracks, 'Do The Right Thing' and 'Dr. Boogie' were recorded at Prince Studios, New York City, in the early hours of the 1st September 2001 - Jules went straight from the studio to Nevada Smiths on 3rd Avenue to watch England famously beat Germany 5-1 in Munich!
