O Mary Don't You Weep - The Seeger Sessions

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.

Hi.  Just a little about myself.  I enjoy all gene of music, and all eras.  My parents (especially my father) introduced me to music at an early were I brought my first guitar from Sears, and ever since then I have been playing.  It has only been recently that I have taken my singing to a more serious note (no pun intended) and at the age of 58, because of vocal exercises, and other mental health reasons, have focus more effort in this area.   Now over 60,  I have accepted that I will never be the greatest singer in the world, but it gives me something back and that's invaluable.  I hope you enjoy some of the tracks I have posted and will continue to come back for future posts.  If you want, please send in your requests. You never know, I might just select it as my next song to record...

Take care.
