Recorded in 1993, though due to pressures of endless touring and sufficient interest from other quarters, the album was permanently shelved. That is, until now. Includes original and covers material, including WARREN ZEVON's 'Lawyers, Guns and Money', GREG ALLMAN's 'Black Hearted Woman' and JAMES BROWN's 'I'll Go Crazy'. JOHN McCARTY, CHRIS DREJA, JOHN IDHAN, RAY MAJORS (MOTT THE HOOPLE) and ALAN GLEN (HARMONICA) continue to carry on the fine tradition of the YARDBIRDS with an extensive concert itinerary. 'Two Steps Ahead' is the missing piece of the puzzle that connects JIM McCARTY's late re-entry into the music scene to the revitalized YARDBIRDS.
