Music

Predominantly an acoustic album, the album does not feature many instruments besides acoustic guitar and percussion. "Down on Rodeo" and "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind" are the only two songs on the record with contributions from outside musicians, John McVie on bass and Mick Fleetwood on percussions and drums. Those two songs, along with "To Try for the Sun", were originally recorded ten years prior at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, which would have appeared on Buckingham's aborted 1990s solo album Gift of Screws.[7] Other songs from this unreleased project appeared on Fleetwood Mac's Say You Will and Buckingham's 2008 solo release Gift of Screws.[8]
