It was recorded between shows on a rare trip to Scotland with local musicians from Radio Sweethearts, Battlefield Band and Belle & Sebastian. Past favourites ("Roll On John", "I Heard The Bluebirds Sing"), country standards ("Walking The Floor Over To You", "Dark As A Dungeon")and some excellent originals (the Jimmy Rogers-esque "Hitch Hike Fever", the swampy rocker "Martha & Me") and turns his excellent singing voice to some inspired gospel songs ("Saved" and "Gone Home"). "Buy it and throw your Steve Earle albums in the bin . Roll On John, indeed. Doggone, lawdy, lawdy" - Country Music People.
