You'll recall that the Pawnshop Roses were able to share the stage with Robert Randolph and the Family Band for a hell of a great night in Dewey Beach, Delaware back in August. Now the guys were graced with some true pros in the studio as Lenesha Randolph and Jason Crosby from the Family Band joined the Pawnshop Roses at Kawari Sound just outside of Philadelphia to lay down some tracks under the always impressive direction of producer Pete Donnelly.

Jason tracked some down home fiddle and then jumped on the keys for a little honky tonk flavor.





Lenesha brought the soul and showed why she is a go to guest vocalist for people like Lauryn Hill, Santana and Dave Matthews.



And, to throw some extra spice into the mix, we brought in two of the best horn players around. From the Funk Brothers (featuring Steve Winwood and Billy Preston) recent touring band, both Jay Davidson (with touring/recording credits that include with Aerosmith & the Rolling Stones) and Steve Jankowski (with touring/recording credits that include Blood Sweat & Tears and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones) layed down some truly amazing stuff along side our other special guests that will be featured on an upcoming release in January 2008 that will be celebrated with a special show on the main stage of Philadelphia's World Cafe Live.
