Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded shortly after the passing of his wife Linda, this back-to-basics collection features the legendary songwriter ripping through an array of obscure 1950s rockabilly covers alongside a handful of fiery originals. Backed by a stellar studio band including David Gilmour and Ian Paice, the performances are notably raw, unpolished, and intensely energetic.
