The result is a collection of diversetunes-penned by a range of writers from Buddy Miller and Allen Toussaint toLindsay Buckingham\u002FStevie Nicks. The album features Paul backed by hislongtime touring band and includes contributions from Delbert McClinton andElvin Bishop plus special guests the McCrary sisters.
