The band that cut most of the basic tracks consists of Kenny Lovelace and Jimmy Rip on guitar, Hutch Hutchinson on bass and Jim Keltner on drums. Producer Jimmy Rip about the guest stars: "It was 21 of the easiest phone calls I ever had to make. Everyone wanted to play with the Killer." Several fans have already been able to listen to some of the tracks and they are very enthusiastic.

You can pretty much tell from reading the songs and guest stars which ones are going to suck and which ones might be worthwhile. Evening Gown sounds the most interesting to me, but I thought that 6 years ago when they recorded it! (or was it only 3?)

Well. ...certainly alot of talent packed in one place. I'm just not sure about these types of albums though. |

some of those types of albums work out great
Roy Orbison's "Mystery Girl" springs to mind, plus Cash's last few albums of course |
