Album Notes

Bruce Springsteen’s album Nebraska was a guiding light for Chris. “Structured songs of this nature are rarely stripped down to their very essence and recorded with such honesty and immediacy. I wanted to make an album with the same kind of spirit as Nebraska…….”

The story behind this new album is best summed up in Chris's own words. "Writing and recording these ten songs has been a spiritual and emotional road trip. I took the ten songs and stripped them down to their very core. The reason was simple. I wanted to return to a directness and intimacy with the listener and also with myself"

Chris’s music has a literate quality within its sub text and has recently been compared to auteur’s such as Harry Nilsson and Jim Webb. At the same time there is a pop sensibility which embraces echoes of the Beatles, early McCartney through to the angular experimentation and charm of Badly Drawn Boy and Bright Eyes.
