Missing credits on Between the Beautifuls
02/12/08 It’s just come to light that Stew
Crookes was not credited for his magnificent pedal steel work on Between the Beautifuls. Stew’s playing
added incredible depth to the texture of the record -- Hawksley thinks Stew is
a real genius and would like it known that he feels badly for the accidental
omission of his name on the album credits. His contribution was greatly
appreciated.
UPDATE: Two more discoveries and apologies: Also
missing from the credits page are mention of Sammy Frenette’s guitar work on
‘piano blink’ and Jesse Zubot’s violin on ‘what would you say to me, lord?’.
Again, many apologies — Sammy and Jesse are both terrific players.
