Ride the Storm

This song was written about Jeff Buckley. 

Gentle One

The Way Young Lovers Do

Wrote and recorded this a few years ago in Pete Townshend's studio. A little indulgent perhaps...BUT Thanks to Tony Lowe and Jules Fothergill for some top guitar action!

Don't lie 2 me

Available on iTunes from 22 October 2013.
Physical Version available at Shows.

By The Sea

My arrangement of the Jimmy Webb classic Wichita Lineman- one of my all time favorite songs.

Wichita Lineman

A moody, sensual Funk/ Blues track with 1940's inspired "Blind Boys of Alabama" style Male backing vocals, memphis style horns and Liza's simmering voice, which builds throughout the song. 
  A song all can relate to about Trouble brewing in a relationship, highlighted with smoky Jazz improvisations at the end featuring Rick Mellick from Joe Bonamassa on keys.
