11 MP3 Songs
COUNTRY: Country Folk, FOLK: Folk Pop
Details:
''Cheery, dreary, happy, sad
The rich, the mean, the broke
Feel so good to feel so bad
Join in! We''re singing folk''
Real life''s ups and downs and a touch of humour; when you''ve listened, I hope you''ll ''Whisper My Name''.
Amongst my greatest inspirations, for many years, have been the beautifully touching words and music of Mickey Newbury. For me, Mickey was a hero and an icon; latterly, I was lucky enough to become one of Mickey''s many friends and something he wrote to me gave the title and inspiration for this album - ''Whisper My Name''
I have always enjoyed listening to singer/songwriters who accompany themselves on guitar: Mickey Newbury; Leonard Cohen; Janis Ian; John Denver; Bob Dylan. My love of songs that contribute to the lyric tradition extends from Robert Burns, through The Proclaimers, to Kate Rusby, with almost countless others in-between. However they are categorised - folk or country or pop - I enjoy songs that tell stories and those are the types of songs that I try to write.
So, ''Whisper My Name'' presents me, my voice and my guitar, performing my songs. Everything I write gives some account of people and places in my life: from the North of Scotland via the Côte d''Azure to the Pacific coast of Oregon; from loneliness, to friendship, to love. I hope that some parts of my experience will strike some chords with you.
