But anyway, yeah, 2nd solo recordthe first one was kind of a hodgepodge of big dumb rock and small dumb rock. This one is primarily piano,bass and drums, with the bass and drums being played by the lovely and talented Joe McMahon, and the irrepressible Dean Fisher. Additional performers include Chris Toppin, Tanya Donelly,Russell Chudnofsky, Jimmy Ryan, Nate Leavitt and Matt Tahaney.
