Renowned guitarist Steve Cradock releases his third solo album ‘Travel Wild – Travel Free’ on Monday the 30th September on Proper Records.

A founding member of the iconic Britpop band Ocean Colour Scene and guitarist for Paul Weller since 1992, the Solihull native has long been regarded as one of Britain’s most talented musicians and a part of the country’s musical heritage.

The affection and knowledge for his craft amassed over the years are truly tangible on the latest thoughtfully constructed 13-track album. Ever the savvy collaborator, Steve co-produced the album with his wife Sally Cradock, who also provides vocals, and enlisted the help of Squeeze’s Chris Difford to co-write the track “10,000 Times”.

The record radiates relevant retro as a 21st century ode to Sixties psychedelia. From the get go, dreamy opener “Any Way The Wind Blows” immerses us in an exploration of sounds in the best of British musical tradition. Steve’s skilled song writing and expert multi-instrumentalism are evident on tracks such as “Sheer Inertia” and “Travel Wild – Travel Free”. This record is a true labour of love from a man who clearly knows how to write and use catchy hooks, hip vibes and lush melodies.

Travel Wild – Travel Free proves once again Steve’s knack for creating music that feels at once familiar and innovative, music that both transcends and cements itself in our country’s cultural tome.

01 I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

From Galway To Graceland

Release date 02.12.2014

"On his visit to Kinshasa James Brown dubbed him *Mister Dynamite*"  

It has been a struggle to lay hands on Verckys, although the man doesn´t go unnoticed. Notorious for being one of Congo´s most ruthless business men, the legendary musician had build a whole imperium in Kinshasa, the capital city of the central african power house (arguably one of the toughest places in the world) and has a whole building with his name, in the very heart of the city.

So I travelled to the Congo in June of 2013 to find Verckys only to find out that he headed in opposite direction to sort out his health issues. But I did meet his manager who gave me his phone number, so I called:  "Oh Monsieur Samy, we need to met, lets talk business", he said, probably not knowing that I was an independent record label, with all it represents.  But the more I spoke to the men the more I realised that he was genuinely interested in music more then anything else. The following message I received few weeks ago, confirmed my feeling:

"Samy, I am writing to you because I´m a little worried. I´ve been thinking about your selection and I now wonder if your compilation will do well due to the fact that the chosen songs had little impact in Kinshasa. Others had much more success"

I was surprised but pleased to see that he cared about the project although I had already paid him in full. But why wouldn't he? Its his music after all.

"Most of the songs you´ve selected were recorded in Nairobi, for the Kenyan market. These songs did very well there, also in Zambia, but here in the Congo they flopped...except for "Ya Nini", that was a monster hit. Still, I am very surprised you´ve mentioned it has become a legendary track in Colombia, positively surprised"

This compilation was supposed to be released in October as a limited edition of 2000 copies, but after a few Skype chats with Verckys, seeing that he has come to terms with his health issues, and pushing for a European tour come next summer, we´ve decided to release this as Analog Africa No.17 which is now going to see light of day first week of December. 

In the mean time enjoy this incredible slice of "Congolese AfroFunk", probably one of the best coming out of the continent. "Cheka Sana" has become one of the most sought after 7inch singles around (the B side is killer as well). Collectors and diggers offering crazy sums for it (I don't even dare to mention the sum here). It deserves to be heard by more then just a handful....and it should set fire to many dancefloors around the globe.

Be so kind and leave a comment in the soundcloud. I will forward all of them to Verckys himself as an encouragements to come back stronger !!! 
Thank you for reading.
