Hi Everyone.<br /> <br /> Here is the review I just received for my album:<br /> <br /> Tim Carroll<br /> FolkWords<br /> www.folkwords.com<br /> <br /> <br /> 'Words and Music' &ndash; musical observations from Phillip Hartley<br /> <br /> Occasionally you hear an album that rivets you with its simplicity and purity. 'Words and Music' by Sheffield-based singer/songwriter, Phillip Hartley does just that. Apart from writing the songs playing acoustic 6 and 12 string guitars, mandola, mandolin, keyboards and percussion, Phillip also produced the album.<br /> <br /> Sometime lead vocalist/guitarist with Hair of the Dog he's emerged as an accomplished solo performer with 'Words and Music'. And before anyone thinks a self-produced album might be of questionable quality, forget it - he's done a fine job. The recording is crisp, the instruments sound great and Phillip's voice - ranging from anxious and edgy to demanding and questioning - is as clear as can be.<br /> <br /> There are so many fine songs on this album it's hard to select favourites. The opener, 'A Long Way' is a sad, rather introspective song, but a good introduction to Phillip's style. 'A Question of Time' is an outstanding song about changing years and growing older, the lyrics are great and Phillip's vocals are spot on. Personal songs about love can often sound trite and tedious &ndash; if that's your view listen to 'Forever on my Mind' it will change your mind. The mournful tones of 'My Town' lament the closure of British industry with perceptive lyrics it's worth taking time to absorb.<br /> <br /> The title song 'Words and Music' talks about the doubts, trials and tribulations of the itinerant songwriter. 'Just Another Song' is meticulously constructed and the vocal delivery immediately conjures up memories of Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) and there's no negative connotation attached to that view. On the contrary, it's a positive comparison, Ian Anderson writes insightful songs that reflect his personal analysis of the world - and so does Phillip Hartley. The album closes with a little touch of humour in the song 'Shy' &ndash; but I won't give away the joke, you'll have to listen.<br /> <br /> If you enjoy unadorned albums with one man singing about his observations on life, delivering a range of mellow, sometimes slightly pensive, contemplative songs then this is an album for you.<br /><br />Album soon out on CD Baby.

Doctor C took on board the task of reinventing my old track Six O'Clock Swill and has done a fantastic job. This is a complete change of focus from a former 6/8 track to a bluesy shuffle compete with Doc's trademark keyboards and stellar guitar work from Gary.<br /><br />It's now less about the evils of drink and more of a "drinking song".<br /><br />Thanks Doc and Gary. Love working with you guys. That's four tracks doneso we're well on the way towards a CrC CD. BTW if anyone can come up with a better name than CrC let us know.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Brian

<span><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you get a chance, check out my latest song "The Tide May Take Us Away" on my page. I'm really proud of this one - it's an epic song with hints of indie electro (Hot Chip is one of my favorite new bands) and an anthemesque chorus that harkens the psychedelic of old all the while sounding fresh and luminious.<br />If you like my song tell your friends to check it out! Thanks friends and rock on!!<br /><br />Love,<br />Beau</span></span>

Well, it's in French. It came out sounding much cleaner than it would have in English. I posted the lyrics up in both languages so you can listen and read along. This song brought me to the edge of something that I'm not sure I understand, so I'm curious as to what you guys have to say about it. Thanks for everything Mix.<br /><br />Je suis seule<br />et je ne veux que vivre<br /><br />dans r&ecirc;ves, je descends&nbsp; <br />vers le bas sous les vagues&nbsp; <br /><br />Sur La Mer Noire<br />o&ugrave; je pleut dans la nuit<br /><br />Sur La Mer Noire<br />o&ugrave; mon coeur vient pierre<br /><br />la lune est noire<br />trop aiment mes yeux<br /><br />qu'est-ce que ai je fais?<br />que je conteste mer<br />&nbsp; <br />Sur La Mer Noire<br />o&ugrave; je pleut dans la nuit<br /><br />Sur La Mer Noire<br />o&ugrave; mon coeur vient pierre<br />______________________________________________________________<br /><br />I am alone<br />and I only want to live<br /><br />in dreams, I descend<br />beneath the waves<br /><br />on the black sea<br />where I weep in the night<br /><br />on the black sea<br />where my heart becomes stone<br /><br />the moon is black<br />too much like my eyes<br /><br />what is it that I have done<br />that I challenge the sea?<br /><br />On The Black Sea<br />where I weep in the night<br /><br />On The Black Sea<br />where my heart becomes stone<br />
