Description
"This is a killer record...KILLER!" Pete Townsend (The Who)
The album is inspired by, and has been made in memory of Ronnie Lane and the music he made with the band Slim Chance. It features guest appearances by 3 artists who recorded and played in the band. The music itself is a mix of folk, pop, country roots and rock and is in a similar style to that made by Ronnie Lane in the early 1970s.

Track 11 is a mix of 5 of the music tracks together with narration by John Unwin (son of Stanley Unwin) which tell a specially written story of how the album was made. It is a nod to ‘Happiness Stan’ on The Small Faces record 'Ogdens Nut Gone Flake'
