Mastering and most of the mixing done at Southwest Studios.

This collection of mostly dusted off museum pieces - written in the 90’s, has been recorded without the use of click tracks, quantising or looping. Sometimes that will be all too obvious. We even left some mistakes in there (similar to how a Persian rug always having a loose thread deliberately left in it). I like it this way and miss it. So does Trev, who engineered and was my ever reliable assistant producer and compadre. Thank you Trev (and Milenka) for your massive generosity, friendship, patience and powerful coffee and cake!

Thanks also to my sister Tracey, who also very much made this possible due to her own generosity. (No, the song isn’t about her…except perhaps in an indirect way in that the song reminds me of polaroids from our childhood the sunlit ‘60s and ‘70’s). Without these kind-hearted folks, and many others whom it would be foolish to try and name (although a special mention needs go to Tim Smith…Timmy!!), it is doubtful this would have come together.

Musical thanks to:

Brett Cheney – bass on Minnie Mae
Mojo Webb – keyboard on Pearly Gates
Blind Dog Donnie Bourke – Nylon string guitar on Billy The Kid
Trevor Gollagher – bell and grunts on Sally Jones. Volume knob on the baritone guitar for 7 Thirsty $. (he even managed to turn it anti-clockwise - after a little persuasion…)

Thanks also to:

Trev for helping me put some au naturel type rhythm beds down on a few of the songs, for me to play to (only to ultimately be deleted…☹). This was to help with getting the natural, fluid feeling we wanted, but still help it be steady enough for me to overdub on.

David Tomasiello for the loan of his lovely custom hand-made acoustic guitar for use on 7 Thirsty $.
