SAM CORRY Wild Caledonian Sea (2014) THE RIVER DETECTIVES
SAM CORRY of THE RIVER DETECTIVES recorded this wonderful song and lives in New Zealand now.
He mentioned working on a new album and I will try to get hold of more.
I may die before my time
I could live till I'm ninety nine
I need your love to comfort me
Though my heart will always be
across the wild Caledonian sea.

NEW STREET ADVENTURE Stubborn Sons (2017)
On 24.March the new CD of NEW STREET ADVENTURE "Stubborn Sons" was released.
And man... It caught me almost unprepared.
I expected a brass section that I loved so much on "No Hard Feelings" but the guys from NEW STREET ADVENTURE go their own way. There are massive organ swoops and brilliant guitars and a driving powerful bass.
"Stubborn Sons" is 1 part Motown Soul (The Temptations, Otis Redding) and 1 part Paul Weller Funk.
In other words "the songs Weller missed to write before losing his mind in 2008".
My favourite one is "If I Had You Back In My Life" - perfekt Spring sing along powerful good mood Funk. The Temptations... Get ready...ready!!!!
Thanks so much mates!!!

TALK TALK Introducing... (2003)
This is a very rare compilation from TALK TALK.
I collected the songs from my archive so it is not actually from the original CD - but it is the same compilation of songs and versions.
Most TALK TALK compilations are uninspired - this is not! It features different songs and offers a different approach. So it actually is some kind of "Best Of..."
The compiler knew what he was doing and he obviously was "TALK TALK-savvy".
