Track notes

  1. "San Diego Serenade": McTell - "I've always admired Tom Waits writing for both his melody and his wonderfully evocative lyrics."
  2. "Weather the Storm":McTell - "It remains one of my most requested pieces in live work."
  3. "From Clare to Here": McTell - "A chance remark from a fellow building site labourer remembered from 1963 as " it's a long way from Clare to here."
  4. "Country Boys": McTell: "Cornwall was in my mind when I wrote this, and Ry Cooder was on everybody's turntable."
  5. "May You Never": McTell - "John Martyn has written so many beautiful songs, but I guess this is still my favourite."
