know if that one saw stateside release. i bought the new one. special guests
abound; billy preston, al mckay, bobby watson, claire fischer (who's done
string arrangements for tony toni tone and O(+>). the main producer is steve
harvey (no, not that one :D) frank mccomb of buckshot lefonque produced a
couple tracks as well.
