As the title might suggest, this is a project that, from its conception, has been about getting back to the truth of my music. It's also a stepping stone on my journey, in search for truth. In much the same way, each of the books in the series 'The Ramblings of my Madness" depict, reflection, introspection and an evolution of my understanding of this world, filled in the vast majority with straightforward good people from whatever culture or creed. Above any religion, surely love is the supreme winner of the media-covered acts of violence and hate that seem to dominate our TV / Radio / Internet. Just my personal philosophy. As I've written before, I have had the most amazing opportunity and good fortune of working with some extremely talented musicians. On this album, once again I am very lucky to have my friend Gary Todd, as sound engineer, producer, and co-musician. From the outset, I have been very clear about my objectives. I didn't want to use any vocal moderation software (e.g. AutoTune). Where an echo effect (reverb) or second track of vocals has been added, it's because I have made a conscious decision that this has embellished and enhanced the music. So, while I may not be note perfect, that's OK ... because this is a truthful and honest piece of work. I do hope that these songs resonate with you. My songs all come from somewhere inside me ... and they come to this world 'naked', in much the same way as we do as humans. Every person that hears them is free to engage with the music on their own ground. That's what makes music such a gift to me, because I have an opportunity to touch someone's emotions in a dark moment or accompany them in their joy, and in this regard I also have a responsibility to produce the best I can, whilst letting the music and songs 'breathe' and find their own way for each person. If you have purchased this CD, I am full of gratitude for your faith in so doing. If you acquire this as a gift or from me personally, then perhaps you may consider making a donation to a worthy charity.
