Background Information
This 1998 collection from Canada contained many of the same songs as Perkin’s “Go Cat Go” collection, including the song that Bono performed with Perkins, as well as Willie Nelson, Tom Petty and Johnny Cash. Vocals on the song are performed by Bono, as well as all the other guests. The vocalists all sing one verse (Bono is second) and then all are featured in the final verse with each singing one song.
This version includes a few extra tracks that are not featured on “Go Cat Go” but none of these extra tracks feature Bono. The album was recorded in 1996, and was released as “Go Cat Go” on October 15, 1996. This new compilation was released two years later.
