Love that guitar, distracted by the two famous chords but knowing you wouldn't drift into space was comforting, wonderful refrain,  spellbinding, that guitar damage is so achingly beautiful, stunning work Kevin...

Such a beautiful subtle melancholy from start to finish...the guitar flourish is a beautiful touch.

Song that can be listening with pleasure. Great voice and a perfect realization. Beautiful. Bravo.

A strong and lovely melody, perfectly performed. Love this song Kevin - powerful and emotive songwriting.

So wonderfully written and performed.. Gorgeous song.

1972: Icarus Descending

Inspired by a painting I saw in a Dundee gallery called Christ and the two Disciples on the Way to Emmaus. What got me was the look of astonishment on the disciples faces as they realised their travelling companion was the resurrected Christ.

Whispers from the corner, as I walk on by.
Whispers in the corner, seethe and sigh.

You know me so well yet you cannot feel my pain,
tis the solitude messing with my brain,
then the night comes and saves me once again.

Whispers from the corner, let me know.
Whispers in the corner, say you better not go.

It's days like these, I find it so hard to breathe,
the uncertainty of being how I am,
then the night calls and saves me once again.

Another long day to get through,
another long day to get through.

His days aren't so pleasant.

We recorded this song twice recently, this is an up tempo version.  We collaborated with our friend Chris Whelan, who added the harmonica tracks. Thank you Chris!!

Oh Sister - Bob Dylan faster tempo (with Chris Whelan)

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio using vintage gear gathered over many decades.


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.
