ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
We're a guitar & harp-based blues / R&B band that people say sound like a mix of Charlie Musslewhite, Fabulous Thunderbirds and Little Charlie and the Nightcats.

Our songs draw on all the usual blues influences but their subjects range widely - party time, clothing styles, impulse, philosophy, new-age, floods, hope and regret along with the usual blues themes of joy, loss and relationships.

Take a listen. We hope we've earned a place in your music collection.


P.S. The cover is certainly eye-catching and deserves some explanation. Mike has no clothes on - like the emperor in the story. And he's wearing a hat favoured by Napoleon (another emperor) which is nicely balanced by a pair of Wellington boots.

He was subsequently described by one of the local radio DJs as "...the bravest man in Canberra."

Cheers
