Sex,
Drugs, Rock & Roll, Protest..you'll find it all here.
From the easy drivetime
groove of the title track, Healesville
through the Mississippi-mud of the harp-driven loping groove of
Medicine Cup.
Sit up and listen to
the pictures, characters and plot of the story-song Too
Many Children. Spend a little time inside the embittered
heart and mind of the transported exile, far from his beloved
Sweet Mayo
back in famine ridden Ireland of the late 1800s.
The jangling tones of
Some Old Junk Shop accompany a lyrical essay
on the excesses of the corporate drug peddlers and the medical
profession.
Waltz while the river
rolls, as two young boys discover life's fragility and touch their
own mortality in The Halloween Dance.
Stomp
to the finger-pointing self-righteous blues swing of The
Upright Song. Tremble with the rest of humanity, as The
Mighty Fall contemplates a case to answer on the planet's
final day.
You like
Chuck Berry? You Like Rock & Roll? You're gonna love
He Didn't Know His Daddy!
Lay out
in the streets with the winos and no-hope, characters who narrate
a landscape of urban decay in Cold in the Doorway.
A
Passionate Man tells how the Scottish author identifies
with the patriotism, the cultural passions and religious conditioning
of an Irish mate. His shared empathy at the historical and political
injustices that were inflicted on an Irish nation.
Who
are these Strangers? A cavalier macho-man receives emotional
retribution.
Produced
