On this new release with Charade Records, John asked friends to join him to add their own special talents.  Don Boomer, a long time compadre and drummer, along with Rocky Siegenthaler, drummer from The Loose Gravel Blues Band, supplied the beat.  John Lauffenburger, bass guitarist extraordinaire, provided the bottom and guitarist Hunt Graves played tasty licks and solid rhythm.  Adding a touch of New Orleans gumbo and spice is Jeff Levine on the organ and piano.  The Grit-tones: Kevin Yee tenor sax, Tony Rohrkemper alto sax and John Keith himself on trombone polished up the horn section along with John King's tenor sax solos.  Ron Gibian kicks in on shakers and cowbell.

Assorted background vocals in the mix are delivered up by Khris Boomer, Gary Defoe, Luann Hickey, Terri Reese, Mike Wilson, Reid Power, Bob Dennison, Arvada Spina and from The Charades, Syl Grigsby and Ray Baradat.

Let's not forget that not only did he write 11 of the 12 songs, John Keith played bottleneck slide, acoustic, electric, resonator, bass guitars, piano, trombone and sang lead and background vocals.
