Al Goodwin is part of a new breed of singer/songwriters who grew up with Punk and Indie. After playing in numerous bands throughout the Eighties and Nineties he left the music scene feeling unfulfilled and demoralised, but continued to write and play his own music, recording demos on his laptop at home. A chance meeting with producer and publisher Dave Whitelock of Smoking Frog Productions resulted in an offer to record at his studio in South Wales last year. The result is twelve beautifully crafted songs featuring Al's searingly honest lyrics and gifted guitar playing. Backed by a small band of professional musicians in the intimate surroundings of the studio and benefitting from Whitelock's sensitve production, '' Celebrate '' is inspired songwriting at its very best and will leave a lasting impression on the download generation in search of meaningful and honest songs. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
