THE NEW ALBUM
A writing and recording trip to South America inspired this new album 'THE ROAD TO PAYSANDU' due for full release Spring '25.
I've always loved telling stories in my songs and my wonderful band play them with joyous syncopation; the combination of their sound and groove is intoxicating.
The album was mixed by Grammy winning engineer Rich Breen in Los Angeles and recorded in part at Montevideo's legendary Sondor Studios. I really think The Road to Paysandu combines an English soul with a South American heartbeat.
I've compiled a whole scrapbook of thoughts, pics, lyrics and biogs which you can download here along with my early release of the album!
ON THE RIVER PLATE
The great colony decays, destroys and rebuilds like it always did
In a steady line we dance, like ants with great petals on our backs
We are building a home from which to gaze upon the waves
Of the River Plate
Mother nature has a way to state her case, she makes us listen
Her gentle roots can lift the curb yielding fresh soil for the storm to disturb
And carry it away to freedom upon the waves
Of the River Plate
We're all carrying the load, you carry mine I'll carry yours
Even though we may not know, you carry mine I'll carry yours
We're all carrying the load, you carry mine I'll carry yours
We're all on a muddy road
From deep space we ebb and flow kaleidoscope,
The city breathes against the water
Holding back the greedy dog they let the dunes grow
We're holding on to freedom, as we gaze upon the waves
Of the River Plate
