Beautiful, your voice is unique

Thanks for listening, Sister. It means a lot to be back and have you hear it. Yes! Here's to next year!

Curiously, I can hear Dean having a go at this. Not the orchestra, I can't do orchestras in my head, but Deano? Yes indeed!

Leafy walkways, cappucino, and a need to send flowers is exactly the feel I was going for!!

I'm so relieved that it's recognisably a tango :-D

Marz, we were chatting about the pros and cons of including drums and I said I would include at least one this time around. This is it!

Ha! Opener? This one nearly didn't get included for being 'different'. :-D Shows you how much I know!

Thanks folks. What does 'quirky' mean these days?? Do I really want to know? To me it is high praise!

Yep it does help to be able to picture a samoyed running about ;-)

Good Stuff!

Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?

Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*

Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.

Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.

Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.

This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.

Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.

I love that laugh - i love how real this album is. Lovely vocal Jess. I will try to more coherent later but Funeral has just started and I'm a wee bit distracted1

faved again. Will you play at my wedding? I'll see if i can organise one.

Love it!

I was watching out and it still surprised me! brill

Wow! this is going to be epic. I'm straight into Haight Ashbury, that piano is superb. It's loose to the point of being shambolic but it has such a strange momentum that it never fails. Faved. And those twin flutes. wonderful.

YAY! here they come!!

this is very pretty

love the beat to this. Excellent!

had these on in the back ground while i cooked dinner i'll have to come back to sort out my faves but it works as an album - very solid.

Hooray - i can fave this too!

no excuse needed, decent filling makes the sandwich! faved

I knew i'd be blown away! It's like late 60's Temptations. Man, you got those Soul Man chops nailed. I'm VERY impressed.

thanks for the comment, MEJ I feel the same way sometimes but Hey! could you be more specific about what you think needs to be different?

just when i think it's safe you pull out the scary music! Excellent.

This is a lovely album. Exactly what i need after the last month. Thank you.

LOL Bethan - that is turning out to be true ....

LMAO - you're right, reg! I thought it was easy to play!

Brrrings it out !! love it Shades of Steve Harley perhaps and those harmonies are stunning. spot on and punchy as hell. Great song.

I'm still in mix mode so the first thing i notice how nicely you handle the change in volume towards the end. let's hear it for dynamic range!!

beautiful production! lol - i can't listen to music anymore - only technical details - can you tell i'm in mix mode?
