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.

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.

Story behind the song
The highwayman were the celebs and heros of thier day living outside the law and over the centuries have gained a romantic presence in history but dont be fooled, they weren't all gentleman of the kings highway and therefore would cut you down with a bullet or a knife for the spoils you would carry.
Lyrics
The night is clear and the moon is bright he rides the kings highway tonight dressed in black wearing a tri-corn hat a knife by his side a pistol in his hand He sits in wait in the darkest place beneath the oak tree with a mask on his face he'll see you coming then you'll hear him cry stand and deliver, money or your life they'll hang him high if they get the chance to see him do the highwayman dance they'll send his soul to hell oh, but the stories they will tell about the man who was legend and the legend of man He'll take your money or he'll take your life cut you down with a bullet or a knife steal the hearts of your ladies and wives dashing and daring, he rides into the night there gonna hunt this man this fearful highwayman across the land be sure he understands they'll hang him high if they get the chance to see him do the highwayman dance they'll send his soul to hell oh, but the stories they will tell about the man who was legend and the legend of man

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
