Ghost On The Motorway
After releasing 6 magnificent and critically acclaimed albums on the Beggars Banquet label between 1997 – 2002 (3 as lead singer and guitarist with the amazing Dream City Film Club and 3 as a solo artist) he has built an extremely loyal and avid fan base throughout the UK, Europe and the USA via touring activities with the likes of Kristin Hersh, John Cale, Ed Harcourt, Tindersticks, Peter Murphy and Placebo.
Ghost On The Motorway is arguably his best work yet, with songs that traverse the dark side of country, folk, blues and rock’n’roll with a tender vocal presence that belies his often startling and debauched lyrical storytelling. Something that clearly attracted the music supervisors of American HBO drama ‘Deadwood’ who recently placed the song Twisted Little Man in the programme and accompanying album soundtrack.
You can hear traces of greats like Elvis, Tom Waits, Dr John, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen pervading throughout a record full of brooding intimacy and intoxicating atmosphere.
Ghost On The Motorway is a record that takes you on a journey through sin, salvation, heaven, hell and back again. Hallelujah!
