Matt,
Different countries seem to get a different number of tracks, which tends to cause a bit of confusion. The UK version of "Jacksonville City Nights" includes a duet with Norah Jones of the Willie Nelson song "Always On My Mind" that Bob played steel on it. The song is also included on the expanded US vinyl only version of the record.
During the JCN sessions, I was playing/producing sessions for the singer/songwriter Amy Rigby's next cd "Little Fugitive", so I missed a couple of studio days with Ryan. Bob was brought in and played on a few tunes but I think the only one released was the Willie song.
Hope that helps clear things up and I hope you're enjoying the CD. Cheers, Jon

Hey Jon, Great CD, I just got it thursday and loving it. The steel work is right out front and very 'Classic' sounding. I've only made it to cut 5, I keep going back to 'Jacksonville City Nights'. Your playing is great, also cool to see Hofnar on the CD as well.

I love all of Ryan's CDs and most steel players will like this one. Who says there is no good country music out there.

Keep up the good work. BTW are you guys still touring, and are you coming to Norwalk in Nov.?
