Just in case anybody besides me is interested, tonight's the night Yusuf is on The Tonight Show (thanks again Soda for letting me know.) It says Kevin Spacey is also a guest - boy, I'd love to be in that green room! Can you imagine the conversation?!?!

Here are some out takes of Yusef on Chris Isaac Hour but the out takes are the best I can do. Evidently the whole show isnt available or I just couldnt find it.
Chris Isaac Hour with Yusef Islam ~ Outtakes
Thanks Ticky, sure wish I could have seen the whole thing. Leno had no interview with him - he sang Roadsinger. Colbert interviewed him for about 5 minutes and then he sang Roadsinger. The interview was good though. Hopefully he'll do another song on Charlie Rose and Jimmie Fallon tonight.

Here is the video of Boots and Sand. I really like it! Listen for Paul McCartney and Dolly Parton. Also, listen for a bit of Peace Train at the very end.

First of all, I have to say I love this song and I really wish I could find the full version of the Chris Issac Hour to post. He told the story behind it. He was in the middle of recording this new CD and was coming to the states to record. He was stopped in the airport and detained for 7 hours. He said the men who detained him were very kind and polite. They apologized profusely but the order to detain him came from their boss. They made him remove his shoes and searched all his luggage then asked him for his autograph! Go figure!!
