The Highwayman The Highwayman
Well, i havent done much with music for a while but had the urge to dust down the guitar and have a go at writing again so came up with the idea of a new set of folk songs and the Highwayman is the first offering, hope you like.
Clown Clown
For the first time after ten years i wrote this song about my feelings and seperation from my wife and the divorce that was to follow. At times i felt like a clown for not seeing what was happening. Dont take your eye off the ball people!
Time Time

Santa Clause Is Back In Town Santa Clause Is Back In Town

I've been playing the guitar for 20+ years and i still havent reached the standard that i once hoped for. I started writing songs when i was in my early teens and like most musicians have probably drifted through most music styles, but i seem to have settled more on the acoustic sound.
I'm lucky, i record in a studio where the owner Mike Strutt produces and mixes all the tracks + plays the Bass guitar and Keyboards on all my songs, he's a top fella and the songs wouldn't sound the same without him.
If i had to describe my music, then i'd say it was a mix of Folk, country a little touch of Goth in area's and every now and then my early influences of rock show through.Band/artist history

Your musical influences
My guitar idol is Eddie Cochran, he was way ahead of his time, just listen to his instrumentals like Eddies Blue's and you'll see what i mean. But i cant play like him.What equipment do you use?
A Gretsch 6120 (Eddie Cochran used one),Yamaha acoustic and my old trusty Eko, a very mellow sound, but my main acoustic guitar is a simon & Patrick.Anything else?
All tracks recorded at Reeltime studios and produced by Mike Strutt.

That's a really great song, one that you can visualize, that gets you involved in the song, and in the setting, any more highwayman song coming?
All the best my friend
Clem
Hi Danny - love this one - I'm always a sucker for a great sounding guitar and you always produce one!
A great version of the Santo and Johnny tune!! I still have the vinyl version.
