Before the breakup of the band Koda purchased a multitrack recorder and started producing one-man band tapes of rockabilly, blues, R&B, country, early rock and roll, and jazz, which he released as the album "That's What I Like About the South". He became more focused on performing solo. He also began writing for numerous music magazines, notably his column "The Vinyl Junkie" for "Goldmine Magazine" (later for "DISCoveries"). He wrote three volumes of the acclaimed "Blues Masters" series. He also wrote reviews and contributed to books published by Allmusic.
