THE RINGMASTER GENERAL (Weapons of Mass Entertainment/Surfdog) is a potent and distinctive musical gumbo with rock, blues, country, rhythm & blues and psychedelia.

Diane Birch and Joss Stone-as well as one sung with and co-written by
Jessie Baylin. The blistering guitar skills of
Orianthi are featured as well. As with The Blackbird Diaries, STEWART is backed by some of the finest musicians in Nashvilleincluding: guitarist Tom Bukovac, drummer Chad Cromwell, bassist Michael Rhodes, steel guitarist Dan Dugmore and Mike Rojas on piano.
Here's some early critical praise for THE RINGMASTER GENERAL:

Jessie Baylin and
Diane Birch. Stewart reveals just enough of the love-perplexed man behind the curtain to keep us entranced." - Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY,
