About this album

Limelight features 14 tracks, a mix of co-written originals and carefully chosen covers that resonate with tasteful playing, soul and groove. It's a stunning blend of soul, rhythm and roots. Tracks such as Van Morrison's 'Into The Mystic' and Bob Dylan's 'Watchin' The River Flow' play alongside first single 'Far Away Like a Radio', a Colin, Craig Northey, and Tom Wilson co-write.

The album features a cast of supporting players whose work encompasses a who's who of rock and soul. Drummer Jim Keltner has worked with everyone from Dylan (he played on the original recording of Watching the River Flow) and the Stones, to Eric Clapton and Ry Cooder. Bassist Reggie McBride includes Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, James Brown and Stevie Wonder in his resume, while Hutch Hutchinson, best-know as Bonnie Raitt's bassist, has spent time with the Neville Brothers, Elton John, Al Green, and B.B. King.
