## Song notes

"Standing On the Surface of the Sun" featured a portion of an abandoned song found on a Black Crowes rehearsal tape for what would become the sessions for their 2001 album, Lions. "Station Man" was originally released by Fleetwood Mac on their album Kiln House (1970). It was the first of their post-Peter Green albums.
