This Album's musicians list is impressive to say the least: Personnel Sinéad O'Connor - vocals, low whistle Sly Dunbar - drums Robbie Shakespeare - bass Mikey Chung - lead guitar Dalton Brownie - rhythm guitar Glen Brownie - acoustic guitar on "Untold Stories" Robbie Lyn - keyboard, organ Carol "Bowie" McLaughlin - piano Steven "Lenkky" Marsden - piano on "Curly Locks" Uziah "Sticky" Thompson - percussion Dean Fraser - saxophone Ed Rockett - low whistle David Madden - trumpet Pam Hall, Keisha Patterson, Katrina Harley - backing vocals
