A.J. Croce - That's Me In The Bar 1995 (20th Anniversary Edition 2015)

Includes never before released version of If You Want Me to Stay featuring FLEA. Produced by Jim Keltner. Compass Records is re-releasing A.J. Croce's highly successful album, That's Me In The Bar in celebration of its 20th anniversary. With his unique jazz piano stylings and blues-tinged voice, the 12-track album established Croce as a singular artistic force in 1995.

The re-release will feature a bonus track, If You Want Me to Stay, recorded 20 years ago but locked in the vault until now. Producer Jim Keltner, the leading session drummer in America according to Bob Dylan, held down the percussion and invited a slew of illustrious friends to play on the track as well. Multi-instrumentalist David Hidalgo's (Los Lobos) masterful contributions include horn and accordion lines, while Keltner's next-door-neighbor Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) added a heavy dose of funky bass. A.J. Croce, whose timeless voice has cured like good Scotch whisky, rerecorded the vocals in 2015 for the 20th anniversary re-release.
