 Carlton, who in the meantime had given up his second home in Mallorca and taken up residence on the island of Gozo near Malta, began making a fourth album called "Songs for the Lost and Brave", whose fifteen tracks explored the many bitter blows dealt to Carlton in recent years.This included a divorce from his second wife.By this time, Zack Alford, a drummer who had played for both Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie, had been added to the band, which was invited by Levon Helm, one of Carlton's closest friends, to record the new album at Helm's studio in Woodstock, New York.
