Thanks to Rob for getting the recording to me

Listening back to it makes you release what playing lots of gigs does to your playing - the lead playing is a bit crazy.

Watch out for a guest appearance from the amazingly talented Alun Vaughan on bass on Big Sky, I wish his bass was a bit louder!

Big Sky - Alun Vaughan

Some waffle from me and a fantastic solo bass version of my song Big Sky from Alun Vaughan’s new album The Kindness Of Strangers. Al proceeds from the album go to the MS Society.

Its available from:

http://www.alunvaughan.com

and here are some quotes about it:

Very nice, great tone and really solid ideas in each track” Bryan Beller, bassist (Dethlok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally)

“It’s a solo bass players album for people who hate solo bass players albums. My blood usually freezes in my veins when I hear the words ‘bass solo album’ but this is actually really very good. Just really good tunes which happen to be played on bass by a really tasteful player.You’ve converted me” G. Jones,Basschat

“This is a wonderful and surprising record, not your typical “solo bass” record as its so melodic and clever. Some of the playing reminds me more of Joe Pass than bass noodling. I was so pleased Alun did my song Big Sky, its a brilliant version. The melodic invention is inspirational.” Matt Stevens, guitarist

“This is not a bass chops showcase album, and while Vaughan often enough lets his prowess on the instrument show, the album is mainly a collection of nice solo tunes, which he happens to play on a bass guitar – thus nicely shipping around that dangerous cliff that lurks in instrument virtuoso album water” Moinsound

“The album is a real gem, sparkling with his not inconsiderable musical skills. For what a comparison is worth, Alun’s playing reminds me a little bit of the solo bass work of Colin Hodgkinson” Wulf’s Web-den
