Spirit and Roots

Discovery of the week 💙 🎧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I had the great pleasure of hearing this performed in concert earlier this week.

"Flowers lose their colour
Music is a sigh
Today I saw you make the mirror cry ..."

For me, Boo Hewerdine is up there with the best songwriters the UK has produced. He is also a lovely chap to boot! Enjoy, if you've not heard this before ⭐️

Thank you to everyone who has support my music this week as I released a new single! It really has touched me a lot 💙

I will be continuing to post a lot more about myself over the upcoming months on my personal DR and artist page, so, in order to try and redress the balance a little, I have decided every week to share a new song or piece of music by another artist that has captured me.

Some will be contemporary, some might be from decades past - a similar format to what I used to do with my radio show Spirit and Roots. So, if you liked listening to that, then hopefully this will fill a little hole until I start the show back up again next year.

This week's discovery: Pearl & The Oysters with 'Think of Rain'. This comes from the record, 'Like Someone I Know. A Celebration Of Margo Guryan', released last week.

I'd never heard of Guryan or Pearl & The Oysters until now, but this sounds like an outtake from The Zombies' 'Odessey & Oracle' album, which can only be a good thing.

Apparently Guryan wrote it after listening to The Beach Boys 'God Only Knows' on repeat. I must try that 💙 😅
