Joining Bruce on the album are Russell Hastings and Big Country's Mark Brzezicki, both of whom are also members of From The Jam. The album boasts a very special guest on three songs in Paul Weller, who had Bruce as a guest on his 2010 album 'Wake Up the Nation' and at a show at the Royal Albert Hall in the same year. Other guest musicians include Steve Cropper (Booker T & the MG's/The Blues Brothers) and Spandau Ballet's Steve Norman.

The new album is being funded via PledgeMusic, where fans can pre-order or 'pledge' not only for a signed copy of the album but for a range of never-before seen items and experiences. These include a VIP pass to an exclusive album launch party and a round of golf with Bruce and Russell Hastings!
