Totally Swept Away, will be released in February 2010 on Perfect Pitch Records
At last – the long (20 years?!*%”£!!) awaited solo album “Totally Swept Away” is to be released in February.
The Album features songs written by Paul, all based on stories of the Sea. From Rock (such as the title track) – “Totally Swept Away”, “Hang Him From The Yard Arm”, “Submarine”, to ballads like “Widows Lament” and folk with “The Loss of the Birkenhead” and quirky songs such as They Mysteries of the Sea” and “Priates” – a dig at the Johnny Depp Films, it certainly doesn’t suffer from being labled “samey”
The Album opens with “The Mayflower”, and epic 9 minute tale of the founding of America – an Englishmans view.
One of the Tracks “Hearts of Oak” was featured as a TV and Radio advert for Sadolin Paints, and two have been featured recently on an album in tribute to 70’s Prog Rockers “Gentle Giant”
It has been a real labour of love to collect songs written over a twenty year period (the latest in 2009 – “Pirates”), and get the CD finished and done, but Paul – spurred on by the unexpected sucess of The Bolton Iron Maiden CD’s “Maiden Flight” and “Boulton Flies Again” has really enjoyed the experience.
Downloads will be swept into i-tunes CD Baby Napster etc.
Available on good old CD format (anyone remember vinyl?) – along with a 12 page booklet,the album will be priced at £6.99, download format for much less (£6.97ish).
This website will have the CD and downloads for sale, and downloaders will also be able to download the booklet in .pdf format (highly recommended – theres an awful lot in it – including all the lyrics)
Any feedback (good, bad or ugly) will be gratefully accepted on the Guestbook.
We hope you all enjoy….. now I can get on with “Puppet Master” More like the old Iron Maiden!
