...was mostly recorded live, alongside the rumbling road of revs and rotor arms; a kind of 'get-out-of-the-house'
collage of in-car capers; as much at home with the serious singer-songwriter strum-fests of the seventies,
as with the comically-crushing timorous tumultitudes of the tennies!

Although, alliteration aside, it's a damn good yarn: blessed with a bunch of
blinding ballads, suffused with some striking sound structures... Argh! It's no good, I'm just having real
problems not repeating the first letters of consecutive words - goddamn!

Basically, this album is 14 tracks of pure road-movie wonder, and the original bespoke hand-crafted
card & paper covers (now produced as regular CDs) were a delight to the vision and touch.
Dare you buy one, or download the digital files???
Jay Snelling says: "I think the playing and songwriting are John's best yet".
