-----
Taken from an Instagram post Ryan posted; he has been recording this time round with guitarist Tod Wisenbaker, drummer Aaron Ficca, bassist/engineer Charlie Stavish and keyboardist T’Ben “Mahoney” Alleman in March 2018---the 11 or 17 songs we refer to as L.A. RAIN). A few songs were also recorded that ended up on BC & Wednesdays-- Tod and Stavish are playing with Aaron. Those include "Birmingham" (it's rumored Jason Isbell ironically played on this*), "Middle of the Line", "I Surrender", "Manchester", "Red and Orange Special", "Like a Heatwave"---as well as the takes for "When You Cross Over" and "So Quiet, It's Loud". Another song posted on 26 April 2018 was the unreleased track, "Running Out of Time." Two more tracks have been previews in short clips on RA's IG in 2023, including "Mercy" and "Sword and Stone" (teased as tracks from another quadrilogy of unreleased albums from the vaults).

"Anybody Evil"; "Opposite of Love"; "When She Smiles" and "Take the Money" are from the July 2018 Electric Lady sessions with Johnny T. on drums. "Baby I Love You" was recorded during sessions for the Prisoner albums. 

In the summer of 2022, several tracks were released as part of the double album, Romeo & Juliet and its follow-up, FM



*Jason Isbell is mentioned alongside Emmylou Harris and Benmont Tench as guests appearing on the original mix of  WEDNESDAYS (according to the initial promotional 2019 info). The rumor that originally "Birmingham" featured a (later deleted) part by Isbell has been suggested on reddit.
