Recommendations
Reviews

This album is quite a mix of contributions. Brian Eno synth, Phil Collins on drums, and several country references with "I Keep A Close Watch" referencing Cash's "I Walk The Line" and "Baby What You Want Me To Do" made famous by the recent '68 Comeback Special by Elvis. That's just for starters. What else is going on here?
