Ward, contributing their bit to promote an album that also underpinned by a version of "The Desperate Kingdom Of Love", PJ Harvey, it sounds extremely diverse, without losing the seal including Giant Sand as ever.
Instead of the continuous repetition of the same songs on the disc (interpreted in the same order for an entire tour) Howe offers improvisation and the construction of a set based on the atmosphere to be live on stage.
Combining elements of classical, jazz and honky-tonk, Gelb is a talent on the piano as much as it is on guitar, and puts his talents to outstanding compositions.

It is the feeling of having been part of something unique and in a constant state of change.
As his producer and friend John Parish: "If allowed only one person in the world continue to make songs, that should be Howe Gelb."
