"Soap Box Preacher" should make followers of Neil Young stand up and take notice because if you listen very carefully you will hear him singing background vocals on the track.
"Day of Reckoning (Burnin' for You) " is another of the tracks on this album that benefits from the Paul Moore of the Blue Nile fame playing keyboards, along with the horn arrangement of Mark Isham, Mr Isham is ...
