Steven assembled a virtuoso band to record the album and subsequently embarked on an extensive world tour – he brought together Guthrie Govan (guitar), Adam Holzman (keyboards), Theo Travis (flute / sax), Nick Beggs (bass / stick), and Marco Minnemann (drums) October 2013 saw Steven Wilson and Kscope release a companion piece to The Raven .. entitled Drive Home, featuring lead track 'Drive Home' alongside 'The Raven That Refused To Sing'. It also includes four tracks recorded live in Frankfurt during The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories) tour and two previously unreleased tracks, 'The Birthday Party' and an orchestral version of 'The Raven That Refused To Sing'. 'The Birthday Party' was recorded in the LA at the same sessions as the tracks that made up the album while the version of 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' is a new mix that strips the track back to just the orchestra and vocals. “this is an undoubted genius at work” – Record Collector

"Drive Home" is one of the notable cuts on Steven Wilson's brilliant The Raven That Refused to Sing and Other Stories, an album that redefined prog for the 21st century.
