After playing occasionally in Paul Weller's backing band during the mid-'90s, former Style Council members Mick Talbot (keyboard) and Steve White (drums) made their a record on their own, hiring guitarist Mark Van Der Gucht, bassist Yolanda Charles, saxophonist Alan Barnes and Mark Feltham (harmonica) as support. The duo released Off the Beaten Track in England in late 1996 in England. It appeared a few months later in America. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
