Nichols, Jeb Loy
Now Then
The record was recorded in five days in Never's studio in Nashville. The band was a mix of young and old; Mark brought some members of Lambchop while Jeb brought Muscle Shoals veteran Clayton Ivey and soul legend Dan Penn. They then brought the tapes back to London where they recorded bassist Wayne Nunes (Tricky, African Head Charge) and backing vocals by reggae legends Roy Cousins (The Royals) and Struggle. Then it was back to Nashville to record the strings and horns. "More travelling," says Jeb. "But worth every minute. It had to be done that way - had to get that mish-mash of people, that gumbo."
