"I'm really proud of
Couldn't Stand The Weather - it was a once-in-a-lifetime
project to work with the great John Hammond. I've been blessed
to have played some of the greatest music with one of the best
guitarists of our generation. Stevie's friendship changed my
life and his spirit will stay with me forever. Our music is
our gift to the universe - we hope you embrace it with as much love
and joy as we put into making it for you."
