Billy Burnette sings on one song and Tom Petty's drummer Steve Ferrone also worked on the record.

From those notes it actually seems that Billy co-wrote one song ("Givin' It Back") but doesn't appear on the album as a performer. Not that I care that much

but which way is it?

Did I leave it out?
Billy Burnette provides backing vocals on Givin' It Back as well as co-writing the song.

It's interesting to note that Steve Ferrone played on her 1984 album, as did George Hawkins.

Only Todd Sharpe is missing here from the 1984 album. I remember when George Hawkins had his Q & A here on this website. I believe he mentioned that Chris had told him that if she ever recorded another album, she wanted him to play on the it. I LOVE Steve Ferrone. He played in Eric Clapton's band, too. When I listened to the "Givin' It Back" clip, I thought of Billy. It has a little country feel to it. I thought if he was on any of the songs, it would be that one. And, Lenny Castro from the Dance is on the album too. Since Eddy Quintela co-wrote just 1 song, it looks like the rest of the songs were just very recently written. And, very nice liner notes from Christine's brother. This was really a family affair.

Thanks for posting.

He's also the drummer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

. It's so cool to see that Chris is working with like, almost all of the musicians she collaborated with on her 1984 album. I'm getting more and more excited about this album every day. I can't wait

He's played with a TON of folks...and quite a variety of styles, too!

Average White Band
Duran Duran
Al Jarreau
Aretha Franklin
Steve Winwood
Mick Jagger
B-52's
Peter Frampton

Quite a collection...and that is a VERY incomplete list.

Plus, I read where he was in a band that opened for The Who when he was TWELVE YEARS OLD!
