    Joe Ely and Joel Guzman had quite an interesting project a while back, I was lucky enough to catch them in London.

    Grace Jones's LIBERTANGO (I'VE SEEN THAT FACE BEFORE). Jack Emblow on accordion. Beautiful recording of a great song from her NIGHTCLUBBING album.

    I was trying to find a Los Super Seven track and stumbled across their version of She's About A Mover with an accordion-off!

    What a great song. Very much looking forward to the Deluxe Edition or at least the bonus content.

    For years, I thought Brian Jones played accordion on this, but it is in fact a guy called Nick de Caro playing the accordion. Brian plays vibraphone. Anyway, great song--very evocative.
