A blast from the past.  Found a CD from 2000 that we recorded and mixed, but it wouldn't play.  Have managed to salvage it mostly all intact.

Tumbleweed was a male/female country duo who played all over Scotland and the north of England in late 1990s/early 2000's at country clubs and festivals, later going on to form 5pc band Rodeo Drive.

In this recording are myself and John Scott on keys, supplemented by other musician friends in the sessions we did.  Peter Candlish on guitars and bass and the late great and never forgotten John "The Baron" Manning on pedal steel guitar.

A funny story of this song's recording was that The Baron paid no heed to the recording process itself, fag jagged onto the end of the pedal steel string (and smoking in my work at the time, where this was recorded, where smoking was totally banned).  All during recording his parts on the pedal steel, he kept making these popping and clunking noises with his instrument, which was pretty old by that time.  Och John, right we'll need to record it again as you made another popping sound.  All day we recorded.  And we just about got there, right up until the very last seconds of this song, thinking right, we've made it to the end this time.  POP!!  It was so funny that we decided to leave that last "pop" in for old times sake, so we would have a funny memory of that day.  And so it is.

Enjoy xx
