When did MK give up playing the guitar I do wonder?

Thanks for the info!

Good news!

My first reaction is - I feel rather underwhelmed.   I was expecting more of MK than only two tracks and much more of his guitar!

Merhaba and thanks for the additional info!

[naif]

Hi, (merhaba) and you're very welcome my friend:) Great news i think!!

[superval99]

Yes, many thanks Eric Genevelle and also Naif!   

[superval99]

According to Guy, EC and MK are playing together on the two tracks at the same time!   That sounds like something to look forward to hearing!   

[border_reiver]

Yes yes yes! Great news! 

[dmg]

Certainly the most interesting collaboration he's done in a long time.  One I'm actually looking forward to listening to!

[Maxx]

Please enlighten me; are these songs new?

[tunnel85]

Please enlighten me; are these songs new?

Most songs are JJ Cale classics. A few decent ones but not really his best, I mean nothing rocking ... 
Very disappointing set. 

3 tracks mean nothing to me though :  Someday, songbird and Train to nowhere.
Very interesting to have Mark on 2 tracks that are new to me.
I'm very excited to hear those two songs.

Thank you for the information!
Great news! And great tracklist! Of course I would love more songs and an actual collaboration with J.J., but this is the second best, since he is gone. So this would be the first studio release where EC and MK meet!

I really don't remember Someday and Train to nowhere, songs. I wonder if they are new songs (unreleased Cale songs) or old songs using different title (ridin' home, Cherry) Any info?
