You mentioned the guys that you have playing on the album-there is quite a stellar cast on there(Ronnie Wood, Andy Fraser, Simon Kirke, Ian Hunter among others). I just wondered how the songs were actually recorded. It must have been near impossible to align schedules for that to take place?Spike”The good thing is modern technology. What I did was, I put about eighteen songs down-I recorded eighteen but only released twelve. I played the acoustic and sang the songs to a click , and then I sent that over to Simon Kirke in New York.. He played along to me with the acoustic and click. I then sent that over to Andy Fraser in Los Angeles, and he put the bass on and that’s how we did it. I went round to Ronnie Woods house with a computer and he played his guitar parts and that’s how we did it. I then put it all together and I went into Rockfield studios in Wales. I took all of the stuff off the computer and put it back onto the old tape,like the 24 track.-actual tape.
