Recorded and engineered at The Basement Studio by Dave Forward in 1994/ 95 and live in Glossop from around the same time. Patrick's second solo album was originally released in August 1995 and is a collection of acoustic and folk-rock tunes. Whilst this was a conscience effort to do something outside of the blues rock framework associated with Cold Flame there was also an interest in playing some simpler acoustic based material.There is an historical theme running throughout - The English civil war of 1661-65 and both the music and lyrics reflect this theme. Whilst the album may be short on blues some ex members of Cold Flame do make an appearance especially in the guitar work of Daniel Hall, whilst singer Andrew Mellor also features on a couple of tunes - 'The Pipers Song' and 'By the Sword Divided'. Some of the instrumental passages of the album are utilised in current Cold Flame songs especially 'Matty' which is the 'middle bit' of the revamped Mamas Blues originally recorded for 'On Thin Ice'. Several of the musicians appearing on the album display the rich vein of talent existing in the High Peak folk scene, centred in the Glossop area - a tradition that continues to this day. Most recently Cold Flame Acoustic have included some of the numbers on this album in their live set so in many ways this is a good time to release the remastered album in its entirety with the added bonus of some extremely rare and slighty dodgy live stuff recorded around the same time in a local Glossop venue. Again for this remaster the backroom staff of Davyd Simpson and Julian Homer were enlisted to ensure that things went smoothly.Rereleased September 2007 and available as with all other albums , direct from the band. | ||
