The songbook of a journey to the southwest of the U.S.A., recorded in the CBS Studios in London, produced functionally and efficiently, without gimmicks, by the former Genesis and Camel producer David Hitchcock. A compendium of basic rock music in the classic Improved style, at times drenched in mellotron, at times tequila flavoured, and enhanced with the singular colours of slide and pedal steel guitar.

Little Sue
See this hot bright day in May
Good morning, Sue, how are you
Sing a small nice tune in June
Good morning, Sue, how are you
Little Sue, I´m in love with you
Don´t you cry in sweet July
Good morning, Sue, how are you
What a cold November day
Good morning, Sue, where are you
Little Sue, I´m in love with you
There is nothing I can do about it
You may come back or you may not
Still I do not hold a grudge against you
Honey, I can´t stand a lot
There is nothing I can do about it
You may come back or you may not
Still I do not hold a grudge against you
Love is everything I got
Little Sue, I´m in love with you
