Small Graces

Phil Naish recorded the tracks on Small Graces by having Bob come into the studio and record each track solo (only Bob's guitar & his vocals), along with a click track; to obtain Bob's most natural performance. Then the other players were brought in to play around that initial solo track. Small Graces was Phil Naish's mandola debut.[3]
