DESCRIPTION:
Track one from the critically acclaimed album 'The Knife'.
If you like, please buy: http://www.simoncampbell.com/recordings/the-knife
The album is a blend of Americana, Blues and Contemporary Folk, exploring acoustic instrumentation and Simon's love of the electric guitar, Mellotron and Hammond organ.
This second solo album showcases songs about real people and places: the observations of a Northern Man. It reflects Simon's increasing love of acoustic music from both sides of the Atlantic.
We have worked hard to produce the finest sounding record we could using the best equipment, recording techniques and mastering. When listening to the 180g vinyl - by far the best medium on which to appreciate the album - you feel totally connected to the songs.
