While this CD compiles two LP's, one song from each of the original releases has been left off to fit on a single CD: "Single Saddle" from 'Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance' and "Snake" from One for the Road". Thus,
Tracks 1-12 originally released as 'Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance'; Tracks 13-20 originally released as 'One For The Road'.
Tracks 1 to 12 recorded on Ronnie Lane's mobile and mixed at Island Studios / tracks 13 to 20 recorded at the Fishpool on the L.M.S. Mobile Autumn 1975
Original LP sleeves designed/Photographs by O'Lochlainn and wife

A Discogs Review:
Elliot Knapp from Seattle wrote this and I agree wholeheartedly:
This album includes all but two songs from Lane's '74 and '75 albums, "Slim Chance" and "One For the Road." Like Billy Bragg says, the former (Small) Faces bassist got about as close to that old-timey sound that the Band had as anyone else from Britain did. This collection finds Lane with a great big group of acoustic and electric instrument players, digging into blues, folk, Americana, British folk, and everything else you can imagine, as long as it has some tradition. Overall, this is uptempo music--not quite as loose-cannon as the Faces, but definitely optimistic and meant for a good time. My personal favorites include the reincarnation tale, "Stone," "You Never Can Tell," the sweet groove that "Don't Try To Change My Mind" works up, and the rollicking unison sing along of "One For The Road." The instruments perfectly fit each song--mandolins, fiddle, acoustic guitar, dobro, whatever fits the barroom mood. Lane's a great, underrated songwriter--under the veneer of the good-time rockers is some real reflective writing, an independent spirit as well as a unique, understated voice (his growl sometimes reminds me of his friend Roy Harper). The only downside to this beefy one-disc collection is that, in order to fit the bulk of both albums on, 2 tracks had to be cut ("Single Saddle" from Slim Chance, and "Snake" from One for The Road). This probably only bothers obsessive music collectors like me--most people would be happy to get the excellent platter of tunes served up by this album. Plus, it beats buying both albums individually, since they're both out of print and much more expensive than this combo. Highly recommended to fans of the Band, the Faces, Rod Stewart's early solo records, and generally to people who like good-time rock that digs deep into roots. Enjoy!

"I've got the two-fer of Slim Chance and One For The Road and it's really lovely stuff with loads of soul and charm. I love the fact that Ronnie had the guts to break out of the game and follow his own muse, creating something very unique and uncommercial. I can't think of too much else out there like it--maybe Van Morrison circa Tupelo Honey? I also have the Just For A Moment compilation--both are fine entry points into Ronnie's solo work and highly recommended." ~Tristero, Jun 17, 2012
