"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."
