When Keith and I discussed making this third album with WildGoose the idea was to address several aspects of Keiths performing career. It was also planned to be a solo album but given that his career has always featured collaborations with other musicians this proved impossible so we have tried to reflect this without masking his own undoubted abilities as a solo artist. The pieces here reflect Keiths own ideas and arrangements and we have tried to present other artistes contributions as enhancements rather than using them as props - often a difficult balance to strike, but I hope that this comes across.
