For “Use Me,” which was released in July, Bromberg approached an array of singer-songwriters and asked them not just to play on the album, but to contribute a new song to it. Most of them were friends, or at least acquaintances; “Some were people whose music I admired, and I wondered whether they knew who I was,” he said. A few, like Hiatt and Keb' Mo', were people who had opened shows for Bromberg. “Evidently I wasn't too much of an asshole to them.”
Bromberg still seems a bit surprised, and very grateful, at the response he got. Virtually everyone he asked said yes, and “Use Me” features Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill, Los Lobos, Keb' Mo', John Hiatt and, on two tracks, the Band's Levon Helm.
