History

After signing a three-album deal with Gene Rosenthal for Adelphi Records in 1977, Breau recorded material over period of a few months. Rosenthal and Dan Doyle produced the first sessions recorded during October and November which would become Five O'Clock Bells and Mo' Breau. This posthumous release, recorded during December 1977 and January 1978, was produced by Rosenthal.[1]
