I wrote "Take it for a Ride" in Puerto Rico. I was playing a wedding, and I was strumming my guitar on the beach. If you listen closely, you can hear the ocean. It certainly was a reflection on the end of a long term relationship, but like so many of my songs, it may have started with an impulse rooted in my personal reality, it grew into its own reality. That's why the song has stayed with me for so many years.
I recorded this (and the album) at CB Sounds with Colin Brown (who also played drums). Dave Humphries played bass, and Dan Africk sang back up on the song. I did the other stuff.
