Danny called us and told us he wrote an Homicide Black tune and wanted dual guitars. Jazz and I listened, wrote the lyrics and brought Danny over for a marathon session. Me & You – hALF wHEEL tune written by Jazz. Has a bit of a Zeppelin vibe and is always a blast to play live. Shot a video for it too.
