The Making of the Album
After the release of my last album Not Afraid Of Greatness – Shakespeare’s Sonnets I started a most magnificent and fruitful songwriting collaboration with poet/lyricist Ian Badcoe from Sheffield who is not only a wonderful person to work with but has become a friend over the course of time.
In May 2018, with a total of 21 songs from that collaboration, I travelled to Ian’s home city to produce a new album with the fantastic producer Dave Sanderson (Reverend and the Makers, 65daysofstatic). Based on my demos we have recorded two magnificent drummers – Ben Fuller and Kris Tearson – on 5 songs each. We’ve added lots of ear candy and re-recorded the odd guitar and bass guitar. Along with the 2016 single To The Sky (one of the above-mentioned 21 songs by Ian and me) which Dave has brilliantly remixed that makes a total of 11 carefully selected songs!
I wrote some bits about my time in Sheffield on my blog!
The tracklisting will be:
- Walking To Alpha Centauri (released as single on 5 March 2021)
- Identity
- Anger Bob
- Methodology Of Love
- On End Times Boulevard (released as single on 22 Jan 2021)
