I Love Country evolved from a riff, I identified what to me was reminiscent of every country rock song i have heard. As a life long country fan all the way back to Hank Williams. I want to send the message I still love your music and many other things about American life but it's hard to love the USA today.

Recorded at 113 Studio, Perth. All production and additional Guitar tracks by my good friend Stew Mathven - Lead Guitarist from The Revivals. A band who have enjoyed success for over 15 years both here and in the USA. This comes over in his variations in play style.

The two original songs were recorded as I played them to him. He zoned into the them and laid down his own skills and authentic feel.

Little Red Rooster

I Love Country

This is  a cover of one of the greatest blues songs of all times for me.. I learned this song from a  blues player who was involved in the early Blues/Jaz  scene back in the fifties. I tried to keep faithful to the song and add my own interpretations of the different parts, as I could never see his fingers move, i had to work out his part and play mine along with it.  this has some overlays of bass and vocals and some clever production  from my friend who also mixed this and would like to give credit to Alice Brown for her sympathetic work on this old song. Cushtie bop

Walk On Version 2

I really do Love Country music. It used to be called three chords and the truth. Looking at the conflict of Ideas and beliefs in America today . I decided to write this song about how I cant stand their Gun Laws or their Politics of Hate. It all clashes with my perception of the Lovely Americans who I've known for over 60 years  since I heard your Cheating   Heart as  a kid

Take Your Medication

My response to the dreadful Gun Laws and Politics of Hate tearing America apart. just remembered how their music made us all feel good for half a century. Found a nice simple lick and developed it . Thanks to my buddie Stew Methen for addditional guitar and production

Very resonant guitar with Rock feel  intro, that repeats, (not too often ) has a Clapton style run-down, to a dancy country beat, with a hard  rock edge. Goes down really well live as it bursts into life at get go, and doesnt let-up until it is played out. Very proud of this song , because I love Country.Rock and it came to life during a recording session for the Time Thief's and Mood Stealers album.

02 Track 2Dont mind if I call you Baby

It probably sounds a bit like visiting  basement club in the 60,s  down the south coast with cool hippie travelers playing the sounds instead of the traditional  old down south American delta players  . this is a  tribute to the Blues. Cushtie Bop
