"Beat, as the title of my eighth and latest full-length, wide screen, three-strip Technicolor, digitally-encoded compact disc album of 'classic pop songs', touches of satirical folk and a couple of full-on, hard-out rock monsters. Mostly, though, the heart of this record (and you will, no doubt, have spotted said organ on the album cover) resides in three songs that came directly from the decline and death of my dad. They are joined by several others that are imbued with the unalterable humanity of both the event and its inevitability. Yes, they are sad songs but, as with most of my work, there is hope at their core and I've tried hard to deliver them in an honest and melodic form". (Chris Knox) |
