Two people share their experiences and disappointments that follow a common path, one that may ultimately finally lead to each other.

Lyrics:
My Back Pocket

Well she left me on a Tuesday, and the backlash was a doozy
My drinking felt like poetry, but all that came back home was me.
Struck a match to watch it burn, my finger hurt, when will I learn

And then just like a puppy, so convinced she must still love me, 
I tracked her down..  no more than friends, pretending I could understand, 
But boy she played me tried and true, until there was no bone to chew

Don't think that I don't hear ya, it's only been a year now, 
Since he walked out of that Applebees, my Nachos on his dungarees
Crying in the backseat, like some pigeon in that taxi

Found his six-pack in the fridge and, tuned right back into that pigeon, 
And by refrigerator light, I drank that beer with all my might..
My church and my religion.. on the floor of my damn kitchen

Chorus:
Is it played by some musician or hidden by magician
Is it in the cemetery air, or in that taxi waiting there
Could it be in my back pocket or in my mother's heart-shaped locket
Have you and I looked hard enough.. oh, where can I find love

I've seen it in the movies, how that far off look gets to me,
And I know that fellow must be me, I could have written every scene..
Where's that damn projector, that don't look nothing like her.

It's been told through generations, Cinderella's destination,
Where snow as white as Kerosene, can dwarf the raindrops in-between
And leaves me in an Applebees, or in my kitchen on my knees

So we both have been right through it, had the balloon until we blew it, 
And it got so full of frigid air, it burst and left the cupboards bare..
And  now we both are cynics, we're each our own worst critics

Is it played by some musician or hidden by magician
Is it in the cemetery air, or in that taxi waiting there
Could it be in my back pocket or in my mother's heart-shaped locket
Have you and I looked hard enough.. oh, where can I find love

Bridge:
Guess I must have one time found it, 'cause I seem to know that taste,
But like sand I just pound it, 
The footprints disappear, as fast as I can chase

Chorus:
Is it played by some musician or hidden by magician
Is it in the cemetery air, or in that taxi waiting there
Could it be in my back pocket or in my mother's heart-shaped locket
Have you and I looked hard enough.. oh, where can I find love
Tell me where can I find love

My Back Pocket

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.
