The players are Jimmy Bennett on guitar, lap steel and vocals, Peter Bennett on bass and Ray Grappone on drums and percussion. Guest musicians on "Can't Find A Reason" are Levon Helm on drums along with Amy Helm on vocals. The horn section is Jay Collins (arrangements, Sax) and Richard Bolger (Trumpet) both currently touring with the Greg Allman Band. New York session pro Jim Abbott provides keyboards and Charlie Wolfe (Kerry Kearney Band) joins on the blues harp.
