Ron Hynes was produced and arranged by Paul Mills, (who also produced Ron’s multi award-winning Get Back Change in 2003). Some of the finest musicians in the country were brought together for this new project including Dennis Pendrith (acoustic bass), Curly Boy Stubbs aka Paul Mills (second guitar), Keith Glass (electric guitar), Burke Carroll (pedal steel), Al Cross (drums, percussion), Tom Leighton (piano), Don Reed (fiddle), Ann Lindsay (fiddle) and Wendy Solomon (cello). Harmony vocals are beautifully handled by Neil Donell, Emilie Barlow and Rique Franks with a guest appearance by Cindy Church.
