"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. First off (no relation).

I've been playing for about 30 years as a hobby. Been in a couple of bands when younger playing bass, but wanted to get into song-writing so moved to six string.

Started playing live again at an open mic night around Nov 2011 playing mostly covers (as you do).  Starting to find my feet a little with it now.  I've written a few tunes but never put lyrics to them (had nothing to say).

Words are coming to me now and I will record the songs as they come to me.

I use Avid Pro Tools SE to record, and play all the instruments except the drums which I painstakingly program in MIDI in Pro Tools.

I am so pleased to have this outlet, and am loving listening to your souls crying out too.

There is more talent on here than I can comprehend.

Bless You
MartinM
