"No, this isn't a wedding! This was the second single off Jim Diamond's 2005 comeback "Souled and Healed". He at first said there wouldn't be another single but there's a good reason for this one. He does new versions of his old UK hits "I Won't Let You Down" (Ph.D) and "I Should Have Known Better". At least they'll be more easily available in some form officially. He recreated them for the 21st Century.

Blue Shoes is his duo with acclaimed saxophonist Snake Davis; "The smallest band in the world". They still perform around southern Scotland and northern England regularly when Diamond isn't in his old duo Ph.D with Tony Hymas, who also has jazz and blues leanings."
