RELAX UNWIND
  1. San Francisco Days - In February 2011 I was having a beer in the Hotel Utah in San Francisco when two guys next to me started to talk about how they remembered “The night Gerry Garcia died”. The song then evolved during solo acoustic performances in Tokyo bars!  
  2. Relax Unwind - Life is too short!
  3. September - Written in September 2005 just after my daughter Catrina left home for university. “You’re not around, the house is cold.”
  4. Latina - Oh how I miss El Salvador! 
  5. It All Comes Around - “Someday in another place, I hope again to see your face ……….”
  6. I Want The Truth - A ‘Cool Hand’ band live performance song!
  7. Memories From Yesterday - The story of every singer/songwriter? Keiko Fogarty provides an excellent harmony vocal. 
  8. Soulful Rhythm - Written in Shimoda, Japan during vacation just before the first recording sessions occurred.
  9. Never Ending Love - Written for my wife Morena, in Istanbul, Turkey during 1997 to 1999. 
  10.  Old Fashioned Cowboy - One of my very first songs - written in Rochdale, Lancashire, UK. Still singing this today. Listen to the explanation at the end. “That’s all there is to it. I’m just an old fashioned cowboy!”
