about

This album was recorded with the aim of trying to capture the songs the way I perform them live. They were recorded quickly with minimum treatment.
I can never recreate the fun of a convoy of children following me in my tune "Truck" or the laughs when I try (and often fail) to whistle during "Scary Monster" or make a kazoo sound like a confused rooster during "Honk the Chicken" but I had a very enjoyable time trying.
I can only hope that by including "My Pillow" at the end that it has the same affect here as it does at my shows and calms everyone down before I leave.
