Came across the phrase 'like a rabbit in the headlights' and it got me thinking about pivotal moments, although the ending is ambiguous, no actual bunnies were hurt in the making of this song. Hope ya like it!

Frozen in the headlights
Feet refuse to run
Is this his last moment
Is he done?

Time for some reflection
Did this rabbit do it right?
Should he’ve been much bolder
Looked those humans in the eye
 
Stood his ground with foxes
Laughed at the farmer’s gun
Been a little more outrageous
Had some bunny fun.

Maybe gone to Vegas
Danced flamenco in Seville
Been a little more courageous
But he wasn’t, hey but still..

Will the driver dip those headlights
Let him off the hook
Ease up on the gas pedal
You never know your luck

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.
