Did Pino Play on The Weakness In Me?

[paul_wolfe]

Just listening to some early Pino stuff - and came across a tune called The Weakness In Me by Joan Armatrading. It has all the hallmarks of 80s Pino - fretless, harmonics, similar kind of fills.

But it was recorded in 1982. So it might be slightly too early for Pino...anyone shed any light?

TIA

Hey Paul -

Not sure if Pino played on the original but this just caught my eye as I've been playing that track on tour this year. It's such a powerful track, with heartbreaking lyrics. Good call indeed. Check it out anyone that isn't familiar with it.

Being a big Pino fan, I did a search on allmusic.com.
Apparently it could be either Tony Levin or Robbie Shakespeare.

From your description (haven't heard it myself) I'd guess mr. Levin.

Was it not John Giblin?

Whoever it is they're doing a killer job. If you like Pino's work with Paul Young or Don Henley (his fretless stuff) you should go check this out. It's in a similar vein. Very, very tasteful. Very cool.
