The Tug Of The Moon

By Rowland Salley, Chris Isaac's bass player. Our version follows a 'magic moment' at the Ullapool Guitar Festival in 2016 - I'd just done a short set debuting 'Discover and Endure' at the  'festival club', then the Ullapool 'royalty' of Clive Carroll and John Smith came on and played this: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1340008802746715

Killing The Blues

“The Day Of Wrath, That Day” is an instrumental composition written and played on the beautiful Ibanez Artist electric loaned to me by the great Michael Chapman, who sadly is no longer with us. I was absolutely devastated by the news that Michael has left this world -- he was a real musical mentor to me, and I wouldn’t have ever started playing electric guitar if he hadn’t handed me that Ibanez Artist and said ‘Play this.’ My heart goes out to his wife Andru -- she and Michael have both been such good friends to me. I can’t express how sad it makes me to know that I won’t see him again.

From the album “The St Buryan Sessions”, recorded live in lockdown in St Buryan Church and released 15 October 2021 on CD and limited-edition blue vinyl double LP.

The St Buryan Sessions

The Day Of Wrath, That Day (The St Buryan Sessions)

“One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music … Shades of Joni Mitchell in a jam with Karen Carpenter and Lana Del Rey.” —Neil March, Trust The Doc

“She reached parts other singers fail to do ... There is emotion, beauty, passion and musically great arrangements and fab playing. It’s a complete package. I loved the show and was very moved.” —Rob Bozas, Bozas International (Publisher, Peter Gabriel/Real World)

“Captivating, unorthodox songwriting … layered satin vocals ... enthralling, harrowing arrangements … a gateway into a true innovator’s soul.” —PopMatters

“I’ve attended hundreds of concerts of all kinds, and her subtle mastery onstage launches her straight into my fave shows ever.” —Huffington Post
