about

This month's release is EXTRA special, as it's a collaboration between myself, and my good friend and author Richard Wall.

When I played at Upton Blues Festival in July I spent a very enjoyable 24 hours in the company of Richard, and we talked, a lot. A week or so after the festival Richard sent me a rough draft of a short story, inspired by an anecdote I had told him, about an experience I'd had after playing a show a few years before.

Richard had turned my mundane tale into something wonderfully supernatural, and I loved it. We decided I'd write some songs to go with it, and Richard finished the story. One month later, and here it is in all its glory - 'Doon Street Blues'.

Thirty minutes of Bluesy, Gothic Americana played on acoustic guitar, with gravelly vocals, cello and some other string type things.

As has happened many times now, YouTube Music's algorithm introduced me to something that would earn a place in my collection! If I'd just looked at the genre description and the band title, honestly, I would have never given this album a listen. Just didn't seem like anything I'd like. Boy, has my mind been changed! pictureelement

This is the best yet. BSG gives me hope for rock and roll. One other comment was right, in that there’s a story to each album, and none is alike in style. Tone and tight drums, well produced, definitivamente esta muy dope. Alex Furches

This band can do no wrong in my opinion. Saw them preform Morning Song live with special guest guitarist Ben McLeod! Excellent musicians at work here. Michael Soful
