♪ Oh oh ♪ - My dream of just being free to tell my story.

- I play the life-changing kind of music.

- These songs are just really important parts of my DNA.

- I have an opportunity to give people hope.

- Okay, let's have some fun.

(audience cheering and applauding) I'm Jeff Skunk Baxter.

I've been doing this for a long, long time.

(audience cheering and applauding) Thank you very much.

And I have this unbelievable band with me tonight.

To my left over here, who is our illustrious lead singer.

And besides, he just so happens to be the bass player for the Detroit Symphony.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Hank Horton.

(audience cheering and applauding) So behind me, I have to get outta the way, is our most handsome guy in the band, actually.

And again, killer drummer, LA guy from the Midwest.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Mark Damien.

(audience cheering and applauding) And over here on my right, which I don't know, family goes a long way.

So his dad, David Crosby and I were really close for many years.

He brought into this world a fantastic keyboard player, producer, et cetera, et cetera.

So joining us for the evening tonight is Mr. James Raymond.

(audience cheering and applauding) All right, so let's get down to business here.

Some million years ago, before all of you were born, I was in this little band called Steely Dan.

We started in 1970, back in the day.

(audience cheering and applauding) And this is our version of a Steely Dan diddly called "Mild School".

We called it "Speed of Heat".

So we thought we better write something that's kind of rocking and screaming, and we'll get as close to mark on as we can.

Mike McDonald heard that I was doing this record and he called and said, "Hey, if you want me "to do something on the record, I would love to."

And I said, "Huh, as we say at Lawrence Livermore, "in a nanosecond."

So Hank is gonna do the lead part on this song called, "My place in the sun".

Hank Horton, my God.

So I grew up listening to all kinds of guitar and instrumental stuff.

First guy I really listened to was a guy named Jurgen Wedenhin, who did this song, The Shadows did it, the Ventures did it.

It's one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.

And we're gonna do it today.

And it is a song called "Apache".

(audience cheering) (drum sticks tapping) (upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (audience cheering and applauding) Love that song.

I know everybody likes Steely Dan, so we'll do a couple of Steely Dan tunes.

And I'm not even gonna tell you what this is because when we decided to do this, we thought we were gonna twist it five ways from Tuesday so that nobody would ever recommend it.

Change the tempo, change the time, change the chords and everything.

So we'll just leave it up to you to figure out what it is.

Okay, boys?

(drum sticks tapping) (mellow instrumental music) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (mellow instrumental music continues) (audience cheering and applauding) Anybody recognize the song?

- [Audience] Yeah!

- All right, all right, so this is what I think is a beautiful song.

When I played it for my daughter, she said, "Oh, daddy, that sounds like a sunrise."

So somebody's already used that, so we decided to call it "Juliet".

(drum stick tapping) (gentle instrumental music) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (gentle instrumental music continues) (audience cheering and applauding) Wow, I love that tune.

I'm doing a show, a Big Steely Dan kind of thing.

And out of the audience walks Clint Black.

Clint says, "Hey man, I haven't seen you in a while.

"I wanna play with you guys."

So I say, "Sure, what do you wanna do?"

"I wanna do a Steely Dan song.

"Let's do steely dance song."

"What do you wanna do?"

"I wanna play drums."

"Okay, well, I trust you, known you for 40 years."

So anyway, after it was over, I mentioned I was doing this record and he said, "I'm playing on your record."

I said, "Yes, you are, absolutely."

So same thing, come down to LA, figure this out, write together, do something totally outta your wheelhouse, something you've never done before.

And so the opening rift to this, Clint played on guitar and when he walked in, he plugged in and we went, "Holy crap, that has nothing to do "with country music whatsoever.

"You're a good Steely Dan kind of guy."

So that was the basis on which we wrote this song called "Bad Move".

(audience cheering and applauding) I'm not saying that this song is a country tune, but my God, when this young lady who's about to come up on stage sang it at soundcheck, I just watched the band melt, it's unbelievable.

So to come up here and help us out with "Ricky, don't lose that number", is this incredible singer.

Ms. Lauren Morrow, come on up.

(audience cheering and applauding) Man, she just kills this.

Woo-hoo!

If we'd known this in Steely Dan, we would've not made a, I mean, I love Donald, but hey, I'm sorry.

(audience laughing) but, big surprise.

A gentleman's about to join us on stage.

It's a guy from a band called Sublime with Rome.

Ladies and gentlemen, Rome.

Come on babe.

(audience cheering and applauding) Show us!

Here he is.

There he is, oh man.

- Thank you.

- Oh my God.

What do we do now?

Look at this one time.

- Give it up for Skunk one time!

(audience cheering and applauding) - This is incredible.

(upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) It's a great song, we know that.

But we're in Nashville, man.

You know, so long story short, I had to play this song once.

Somebody gave me an acoustic guitar and said, "Play 'China Grove'."

"Oh, you know, I'm a studio guy.

"I'll do whatever you want.

"I'm a sensitive artist.

"Where's the check?"

So they gave me the guitar and we came up with this arrangement.

And because we have Rome here, we got Slim Jim, we got Matt and we got Gunnar.

We got Lauren.

Oh my God, she's awesome.

We're gonna do a little bit different version of China Grove.

You guys ready to kick it?
