"I started to write Blues On The Road in the spring of 2004, some tracks had already been laid down but there were some new songs fighting to get out...in the course of the creative outburst a story line yielded itself up for the muse; that of Billy the Cowboy, displaced during the Great Depression following the Wall Street Crash of 20s America, his journey and resting place are documented in song.In case that sounds too serious, there's a lot of humour here also, together with images of my own travels through the Mohave Desert and the West Coast... I hope you have time to listen in to the tracks I've selected here.
