Slow Down

Hey, why isn't this guy a superstar? Sweet Pea Atkinson, one of Detroits Natural Wonders...
An unstoppable force of nature. He was a member of Was/not was for 27 years, sung with Bob Dylan, Lyle Lovett. Iggy Pop, Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson. One of the greatest voices I've ever heard.

I knew Dave Was many years ago in Detroit...he's the Was who plays harmonica in the piece...as opposed to Don Was, who is producing here. I was a great fan of theirs back in the Ze Records era in the late 70's and early 80's and would see them at the Mudd Club in NYC...I still keep in touch with Dave...He's a very witty fellow to say the least! I really love the entire Was/notWas catalogue!
