He was backed by former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr on the Track "One Way Street"

Reception

Jessie Cunneffe of Rolling Stone gave the album 3 out of 4 stars saying; "If you're looking for a pub gig in an album, Jon Stevens has delivered. That said, it's the sort of gig you're likely to talk over some of the time – a solid backdrop of classic soul, blues, country and rock that amps up the atmosphere without monopolising your attentions. The skilfully delivered consistency is oddly wearisome at times though. While Starlight is polished and rocking, it's rather predictable".[6]

gollark: It's likely that my code is just setting up the socket wrong somehow, since I mostly just used the multicast-looking things in the docs and rearranged the calls until it stopped saying stupid things like "OS error 22".

gollark: `ip neigh show`, right?
gollark: It says it wants a "prefix", which I assume means `ff00::/8` and stuff, but it also says nothing about that.
gollark: No idea. `ip r list ff02::aeae` doesn't say anything at all about it, but that is also the case for some *working* addresses on the LAN.
