I Wrote The Foreword For Jan Hellriegel’s New Book/Album – Sportsman Of The Year

I wrote the foreword to Jan Hellriegel’s new book/album – in my defense I thought I was writing ‘Liner Notes’ – which is fine, the foreword to the book is still part of the liner-notes to the album…you see Jan contacted me and told me she wanted to send me her new album. I think I […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 395

Darren Watson, Too Many Millionaires (2018) I didn’t feel I could review this one…even though I think it’s a terrific record. I got to write about it and plug it though. And I played a track from it on an Aussie radio station several months in advance of it being released. I didn’t review this […]

I Wrote The Liner Notes For Darren Watson’s New Album – Too Many Millionaires

I’ve been asked a few times to write testimonials – mostly for funding applications, for an artist seeking a residency or some such. Once or twice I’ve been asked to writer liner notes. Most recently Darren Watson asked me if I’d contribute some words to his brand new, upcoming album, Too Many Millionaires. I was […]

Being There: My Liner Notes for ‘Making Baby Float’

I was there. Watching the concert. And I couldn’t believe how good it was – now in some sense I had a tip-off. I knew Hannah Griffin was a great singer, I knew Norman Meehan was a thoughtful and gifted musician/arranger/composer and I knew the source material was top-shelf. The other names in the band […]

I’ve been working through the songs for the album – finishing the lyrics on some and putting them in sequence. Recording has been on hold for a while but we are about to fire up again and get the whole thing finished over the next two months before John goes off to China. We are […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1694

The Album Leaf, There Is A Wind EP (2010) I like these sorts of things – created specifically to mark Record Store Day; a ltd edition-type deal. Good on the artists for wanting to offer something that rewards an audience. When I first heard The Album Leaf it was almost life-changing. It was just music […]
