Question about "Two Skinny Kids"

GF:

Two Skinny Kids is an old song. It may find it’s way out on a subsequent MK release but we are working on all new material. As ever.

Hahahahahaa! Man, gotta love Guy. As if Mark never recorded "old songs". It took him 15 years to record Rüdiger and even more Secondary Waltz, and even more time to record One More Matinee and here goes Guy saying "we're looking forward only". This Guy guy is so full of... Something.

I mean why always this strange attitude? Say just it may or not be recorded on these sessions, not switch on your absurd "looking forward" argument again. Even Mark doesn't overuse it so much.

Ok, but we know there will be no old titles on the new album

As you say: Rudiger and SW weren't entirely new.  So much for "all new material.  As ever."

It's true.

When Guy states new material, I think he is referring to new recordings, not newly written, as he says Mark writes all the time, so it makes sense he can record a song he has been working on for a long time, Rudiger the perfect example. The irony with Two Skinny Kids is that at one time, it was the "New material" That is one song I would love to be released, it doesn't have to be on the main new album, could be on a single B-Side release, Mark has done that several times.

Greg Leisz as guest musician. Awesome pedal steel / lap steel player. Love his work with Bill Frisell.

This is fantastic news. He is a sensational steel player. Saw him in 2013 with Clapton's band. His presence made some of the increasingly lifeless Clapton songs sound interesting and new again.

I just noticed he also recorded on the new John Mayer album, quite a busy guy it seems!

Only strats, a Tele and many accoustic guitars. No Les Paul? That‘s strange
