Here's a few songs - have a listen...I've written some notes about the tracks below.

A Wasted Smile, Send Back In Old Guitars (2007)
I finished this album (bar last minute mixing) at the beginning of Spring 2007. I enjoyed the re-mixing talents of Mickey Simmonds, who took some of my bare work and turned its tones into something more slick. I wrote this after hearing a Shawn Colvin track, and loved that clean, new country sound - where the guitars are precise and the beat very produced. I love the line " A wasted smile never came back this way so many times, A Dylan song tells me of another tear inside".
I got the line after I came up with the title of the album. It is how I would describe Tom Waits' first few albums if I was writing in a music mag!!

The Butterfly Crush (2007)
This is track two of the first new album of 2007. This is another old song (relatively). Had most of this when Percy's Studio's No.1 (Wollaston) existed - circa 2004/5. It's me trying and failing to do U2. I set off with ideas of how I want something to sound, and because I'm not very efficient in making it sound the way I want, I end up with something so different, that it's worth showing!! The light and shade in this number I like a lot, and also I love the fact that I sort of understand what I'm saying. "I know the changes are real, and believing I know the changes are fighting between you and me". From one life to another........didn't I get married around this time???

Exclusive recording for My Space (2006)
This tune came out of a rough demo I made at home, trying to do an "Everybody's Talkin'" type tune, but when I suggested it to me ole mate, Mickey Simmonds, he heard a slower more folky sound. So I went in that direction. Got assistance from Mickey with the string solo in the middle, and the change of key (into the minor) at the end of the 2nd verse. He's that kind of fella. This has ended up being the most commented on song I've put on My Space to date.......

From the album "Tales Of An Honest Man" (2006)
Still my favourite production from the album, because it all came together so well (for me), with the piano and guitar solos talking to each other, to that 1960's double bass Pentangle feel. Really just a riff I started to play about with, and luckily I chose brevity over a long endulgent "prog" fade out - and finished with a sweet little song.
Lyrically, as usual, I was all over the place, but I can remember thinking 60's imagary - kind of Tim Buckley "Goodbye and Hello", psychedelic babble.

The Constant Fight With Contentment (2005)
Blimey how long has this song been about for. I reckon the first demo I made of this was 1998, but in those days I'd be messing with tunes for ages before committing them to magnetic tape. Ali Greenlaw and I recorded a four track version in 1999 at Brentford, then John Hodgson recorded me a version in 2000, but the final recording was all done in a matter of weeks at Sandown Park, Studios, Surrey in January 2003.
Mickey Moody (ex-Whitesnake) plays the solo riffs that fill the spaces.
