Notes on Moving Out To The Country by Jools Holland

"Misty Blue" - David McAlmont.

We first performed this song on one of our New Year's shows with David and at the time, everyone was very taken with it. I was recently writing with him and we agreed that it seemed a shame that his version of this song had only been heard the once, on New Year's Eve. I am delighted that we had the opportunity to record it here when everyone is slightly less tired and emotional.

"I Wish I Was 18 Again" - LISTEN TO AUDIO and "Friends Not Lovers" - Tom Jones.

A couple of years ago I made a record with Tom. It was one of the most enjoyable records I have ever made because Tom is such great company and so fantastic in the studio. I was so pleased and honoured when it went platinum that I hoped we would be able to do a little more, and I am pleased to say, here we have. He and I wrote "Friends Not Lovers" and were thinking of it as a duet but once we heard Tom singing it we thought it was best just to leave it to him. The other song, Tom found. One of his early hits was "Green Green Grass Of Home" which Tom had found on an obscure Jerry Lee Lewis b-side. "I Wish I Was 18 Again" comes from the same source.
