The rhythm and blues harp vocabulary available to the Honeyboy has been acquired in the only way possible, years on years of playing the harp with R&B acts in smoky venues and recording studios. His time with Steve Marriot started the idea that was to become the R&B album featuring songs that a harp player would choose. "Sleeping In The Ground", "Don't Believe In Nothing", "Cant Hold Out Much Longer" and even a version of "La Cucaracha" that will put a smile on the bluest heart.

Recorded at John Entwistle's studio in 1994, the recording band features Brendan O'Neil, Gerry McAvoy and Anthony Thistlethwaite with appearances by Geraint Watkins, Steve Gibbons, The Kick Horns (Roddy Lorimer, Tim Saunders, Simon Clarke) and Big Al Taylor. Recorded in a 'studio live' situation, the recording features real performances by human players, unfettered by technological intrusion. No computer processors feature in the performances. Straight from the heart playing really.
