used
at least partly to express his sorrow over the death of his brother
Matthew
in 1994, and the results are gentle, musical, and in some cases touching. Joining
on this recording is the long-time
lineup of bassist
Clovis Taylor
, drummer
Tom Glendining
, and keyboard player
Nick Watts
. Highlights include the desperate and yearning
"Clinging to the Wreckage"
