Underground. Now's not the time to feel the doubt You can't sit it in you can't sit it out Think about what would have happened if we both broke away from the same old riff Now you seem like Robin with Batman gone like a songbird with half a song And if we can't seem to say hello we can't say "Why me lord?" I gave love to the underground Look me in the eye now baby I gave love to the underground You can't take it away Get perspective when you run the door What it is a person comes here for Some are innocent although they know some just got nowhere else to go Some are corrupt falling through the sky some come with a silky thigh You shoulda quit when you had the chance with it falling in your lap now I gave love to the underground In another lifetime baby I gave love to the underground You can't take it away Now it's getting to the end of days neither of us willing to mend our ways We can agree to disagree There's more than one way to be free But would it kill you to just be nice Stop dispensing with the bad advice Was no good then it's no better now How many years behind a broken plough I gave love to the underground Look me in the eye now baby I gave love to the underground You can't take it away I gave love to the underground In another lifetime baby I gave love to the underground You can't take it away

I never knew what was said the suitcase was just on the bed. Got in the car, we drove away I never saw you many a day Zambia Oh Zambia Silver river gently flow thru the places we used to know down to where the rainbow feels like rain can you put me together again I never knew what was felt woman alone on the copper belt green hills so far away she sent the letters back anyway Emmanuel you looked after me A Batwa soul in my memory Kept me safe on the river bank Now I wouldn't know who to thank Zambia Oh Zambia Silver river gently flow Follow where the eagles go down to where the rainbow feels like rain can you put me together again Picking thru the bones of the past to the four winds our lives were cast Pieces scattered all thru the sand I'm still trying to understand Hotels casinos and all the rest covering over what we loved the best Up the river and around the bend We'll find a place for us all to mend Zambia Oh Zambia Silver river gently flow Follow where the eagles go down to where the rainbow feels like rain Zambia Oh Zambia Silver river gently flow thru the places we used to know down to where the rainbow feels like rain can you put me together again

about

My first album since 2014's "Back of the line" is out across all platforms on Nov 22nd, via Shoreline Songs.
"The Everlovin' Wind" has a bunch of influences... country surf rock, uptempo rockpop, maskandi and blues.
I produced it in Kalk Bay over 5 months, over the Cape winter. Some of the songs are recent, some 15 years old or older..I've been playing "I'm sorry" for 25 years or so.
With the assistance of the SAMRO MCSF initiative and Shoreline Songs, it was tracked with the musicians for each song that I had heard in my head for years, and also have wonderful contributions from incoming musicians like Mark Fransman, Rikku Latti, Andy Lund, Dan Shout and Rayelle Goodman.
I'd like to say that the album was super easy and it all just rolled. But the truth is, most of the songs had to be wrestled to the ground like rhinos.
The textures and arrangements I had in my head took time. Normally you'd have an engineer and/or a producer saying "yeah not sure about that", helping you at the myriad forks in the road that you come to on every production decision. As this was mainly a solitary exercise, I was glad to have the advice of friends whose advice I trusted.
I didn't have to worry much about the rhythm section. On drums was Paul Tizzard, Kevin Gibson and Jonno Sweetman, with bass duties shared between Schalk Joubert and Roger Bashew. We tracked the drums and bass in our front room, with another session out in Somerset West at Schalk Joubert's house. Further instrumental and vocal tracking went down in Kalk Bay, along with backing vocal sessions featuring Wendy Oldfield, Nhoza Sitsholwana, Tonia Moller and Fancy Galada.

Stylistically, apart from my usual territory of roots influences, I paid homage to some my longest influences on some songs. "I'm sorry" is a LA noir type instrumental which I would have liked to see in an LA gumshoe detective movie.
My admiration for Joni Mitchell and Steely Dan is also evident on songs such as "Landscape Girl" and "Bays of Blue", and guitar is featured a fair amount throughout the album.

Lyrically the themes are also varied..." Weaverbird" is a story of the gnarly old surf dudes who shaped boards in garages and lived in kombis, drifting up and down the coast. They also used to look after us lighties in the days when surfing was still an underground activity and no-one was making money from it.
The first single, "Underground", is about old friendships, and how being anti-establishment eventually turns into its own orthodoxy.
"Zambia", while with a geographical location, is about family disintegration.
"More than a country mile" is about how, even in long standing relationships, we can still elude each other and remain a mystery.
"All about a boy" is about the silly things people can fall out over, "Lines of fun" is also a nostalgic surf theme, and "Sunny Skies" I wrote shortly after James Phillips died.
Mastered by Tim Lengfeld , the album is available on all streaming services and Bandcamp for downloads.
