Rusty played Gibson SG electric guitar. Gabe played piano.
From the liner notes of the album, and from paulmccartney.com

‘Back In The Sunshine Again’ was written in Arizona about five years ago; the idea of getting out of the English winter and into the Arizona sun was very appealing, so I started writing it – with the help of my son James, who contributed to the riff and the bridge. I finished the song in California, shortly before I started the album. It’s a good time, back in the sun song – about leaving behind all our troubles and moving forward into the sunshine, which also fits with my present mood in life, my present situation. James came and played rhythm guitar on the session with the band, he was the only guest artist on the album – which was fitting, as he had helped me write it.

Lyrics

Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries
And no more pain

We're leaving behind
All our troubles and strife
And thats the way it's gonna' be
For the rest of my life

Here we are, here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain, no more pain

Life too short, to spend it lonely
You only throw it away
Listen to your voice of reason, call it a day

Take a ride, take a ride
Out to the land of the free
Don't hurry take your time, take your time
Come and spend it with me

Back in the sunshine
Back in the sunshine

Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain

Life's too short, to spend it lonely
You only throw it away
Listen to your voice of reason, call it a day

Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain

Here we are, here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain

Back in the sunshine again
No more worries
Back in the sunshine again
