Contains the title track plus 'suzy lee' and 'stop breaking down', recorded live on BBC's radio 1 sessions. 'Stop breaking down' is a Robert Johnson tune. Being a mild blues fan (I love blues, just need to invest a lot of time into it to get truly acquainted) I feel like I've heard everyone in the world play a Johnson cover at some point; Jack and Meg don't stray too far from the original but play it with great sincerity and enthusiasm - which is the most important thing you could ask of anyone covering a Johnson track.
