Other People’s Songs
I’m proud to announce my first album of non-originals, called ‘Other People’s Songs’ – 16 songs that mean a lot to me and which I’ve played with this great band over many years.
Made famous by artists ranging from James Taylor, Carole KIng and Paul Simon, to Randy Crawford, Patsy Cline and Betty Carter, these are all singers who have influenced me, and I love singing their songs.
Thanks to all of you who have been in the audience at the many gigs we’ve done. I hope you enjoy the album!
