Early in his career, English songwriter Wesley Stace borrowed his stage name from that of Bob Dylan’s eighth album. His stateside success arrived under the John Wesley Harding banner, as did his sole SNAP session from June 10, 1991.

Touring in support of his album “The Name Above The Title,” Stace also borrowed Steve Wynn’s backing band. Now called The Deceivers, the band provides sturdy and sympathetic support to Stace’s wordy and melodic tunes.
