This album is some sort of a live album. Some of
the tracks were already released, but are now played live. They
say that this album goes back to the roots of their music, back
to blues, country and gospel.
Some of the recordings are done in the famous SUN-studios. The
songs When love comes to town (with BB King), Love
rescue me and Angle of Harlem.
Because the were in the SUN studios and Jimmie Lovine asked them,
they also participate in the charity album A very special
Christmas.
There were already 200.000 (double platina) albums sold before
the official release.
The movie with the same name included some songs not release on
the album. The movie shows the band live from differend
locations, such as
Arizona, a church in Harlem (with a gospel choir), Elvis' grave
at Graceland, the SUN studios, and the harbour of Dublin.
