Notes: Former Asia guitarist, Sam Coulson, released this blues album on 6 Sep 2024. (1) was the lead digital single, released 18 Aug 2024, followed by (2), then (3), before the release of the album.

Downes has solos on both of the songs he appears on; I particularly like the one on (4). Paul Gilbert was who recommended Coulson for the Asia role. (HP, 1 Mar 25)
