Shag Tobacco is the third solo album from Gavin Friday.

Once again, Friday teamed up with musician Maurice "The Man" Seezer.

Bono and The Edge contribute backing vocals on "Little Black Dress".

"The Last Song I'll Ever Sing" was dedicated "in loving memory" of Scottish-Irish street performer Thom McGinty.

The third track, "Angel", was featured on the soundtrack of the 1996 film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.
