I met Mike Northcutt back in the '80s, when I was attending the Musician's Institute in LA. We shared an apartment together and have been good friends ever since. He is, quite simply, one of the best guitarists I've ever met, with groove for days and endless ideas about chord voicings. I'm honored to have him on my album. The tunes we worked on were Demons and Saints, Coming Together (By Falling Apart) and Money, on which Mike played a smokin' interlude section.
