CAUGHT AT THE CROSS ROADS. |
||
Instrumentation: My vocals, acoustic steel, nylon and 12-string guitars, eighth-scale guitar, and harmonica. Plus: Bass, synthesizer, harp, fiddle, mandolin, jew's harp, darabouka, ocarina, saxophone, bombard, tin-whistle, bass flute, harp, bodhran, second acoustic guitar and percussion.
A likeable face, an attractive voice, and the profession of a travelling musician at the dawn of the new millennium; together with a mix of guitar and harmonica. Seventy minutes of music which pass all too quickly and leave a congenial mood behind them ... Masterful guitar-playing, with moods often influenced by English folk ... An honest, enjoyable production, with lively inspiration, from a wandering musician with a gift of bringing laughter. (Jam.) Italy
If you're a Geminian you'll either love or hate the opening number. Okay,
but is it true? Anyway, Chris Leslie's fiddle is certainly the real thing.
On this album you'll also encounter alchemists, banking tower-blocks,
wolves, metaphysical seascapes, manuscripts of all descriptions, foxy
ladies, a space/time Blues, an enigmatic masked woman at the wheel of a
sinister-looking car, atavistic Irishness, Princess Diana, psychic
smuggling, aching hearts and Chinese carvings in the Ashmoleum, mobile
phones, and an attempt at a genderless love song.
This album has quite a raw 'acoustic' edge to it, even though it was all
recorded in the studio. I suppose it's just how I was feeling at the time.
Between the worlds, behind the masks; she wears a thousand different faces, each with the same meaning. Ready or not, she'll be there to pick you up when the big day comes.
