A Facing South twist on Samba De Verao by A.C. Jobim performed live in Cape Town

Samba De Verao Written by A,C Jobim arranged Dave Leadbetter

This is the original un edited version of the song  " Timeout " recorded in Switzerland for the  " Heartland " CD.  Not the edited version on the actual CD released . I am glad I found a version of it as its the tune I like most on the album and  I much prefer it to the version that was released.  The time space continuum journey lasts longer plus you get to hear more of Bjorn, always a good thing.

Timeout Written and Arranged by Dave Leadbetter

From the first Deep South album A Waiting Land  . Written for the late Nick Le Roux who passed way too young and lived his life on the "  Edge " . This is a gentle acoustic raga pastoral feel with a git DOWN dervish to the Delta section in the middle and end .

River Life Written and Arranged by Dave Leadbetter

Song I wrote in 1993 just pre independence after the killings in Kenilworth during a church service. Innocent people always the victims . This was the first song the band played .Also what it means to be in space and time have an African heart and what it means to say NO to killing murder and war . Now it seems sobering to listen to . Featuring the late Mandla Zikalala on Bass with Kevin Gibson, Ryan Grogan, Marcus Wyatt, Buddy Wells, and Graham Beyer.
