I love TSO, been trying to hunt down a bootleg of their current tour, apparently about 3 new songs from their forthcoming 'Night Castle' CD is being played.
I can understand why Patti might be thanked, since she has worked with TSO in the past, I heard a rumour that she now and again helps out with demo's for Paul O'Neil, not sure the validity of that though. No sure why Meat Loaf gets thanks, perhaps they're golfing buddies.
