I am an original, American influenced , electric blues and gospel songwriter. This album came off the back of 100 songs all written over a 4 year period. Environment definitely played a big part in the conception of this album - having lived in California and Arizona for 20 years playing all kinds of juke joints and bars. Roots blues , gospel and country are in my DNA and vinyl record collection : Hank Williams,Buck Owens,Muddy Waters and Pee Wee Crayton to name a few. They all end up in my writing too. The arrangements and production are very simple and "old school" for this album: basically vocals,guitar and drums cut live with minimal overdubs.
