A beautiful yet emotionally raw album from the ex Small Faces and Faces keyboards man, mixed and mastered by the estimable Glyn Johns. McLagan is joined by Mark Andes (Spirit, Jo Jo Gunne) on bass, Don Harvey (Joe Ely, Charlie Sexton) on drums and Jud Newcomb on guitar. Patty Griffin graces 'Never Say Never' with her soulful vocals and she and the Tosca Strings can be heard on the final track, 'When the Crying Is Over'.
