Comments:
Not much of a story to tell here---I've never even met Solomon Burke, a veteran soul/blues vocalist. This album was produced by Bob Duffey (he did the Screamin' Jay albums) and he hired me to do overdubs on tracks already recorded. Real sessions musicians do this sort of thing all the time, but I'm not a real session musician. I haven' t heard the album for a while so I don't remember offhand which tunes I played on, but I did them all in one afternoon. A couple of years after the original release, they tried it again with an artier cover, and, presumably, not much more success.

Try A Little Tenderness promo CD single (Bizarre/Straight)
released in 1991

Although I don't recall which songs on "Home Land" I played on without listening to it, I definitely remember playing on this, because it made me nostalgic for being ten years old and listening to Three Dog Night's version on "Captured Live At The Forum". There you have Keneally in a nutshell---real rock stars would never admit to such a thing.
