John Howie Jr. è tornato e con questa band scintillante alle spalle, fa il suo miglior disco da molti anni a questa parte. Un "saturday night album" perfetto. Uno dei miei eroi.

I was asked to say a few things about Reese along with some of my peers. Please check it out. Big love to all.

Reese McHenry and I had talked about duetting on I’d Rather Go Blind forever, we rehearsed it, but it never happened. I don’t have many regrets, but that’s one. Rest in peace, all my love.
