Track notes
 "San Diego Serenade": McTell - "I've always admired Tom Waits writing for both his melody and his wonderfully evocative lyrics." "Weather the Storm":McTell - "It remains one of my most requested pieces in live work." "From Clare to Here": McTell - "A chance remark from a fellow building site labourer remembered from 1963 as " it's a long way from Clare to here." "Country Boys": McTell: "Cornwall was in my mind when I wrote this, and Ry Cooder was on everybody's turntable."
