The Rise And Fall Of The Songwriter (Digital Music Download) (2024)

"The Rise and Fall of The Songwriter" record features an international cast of musicians, including stellar guest performances from US slide guitarist Matt Bradford and bassist Neil Murray (Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Gary Moore). The nostalgic opener "Waterloo Bridge" evokes the pop-sensibilities reminiscent of 1960's material from The Kinks, while ballads like "Now That She Is Gone" takes listeners on a poignant journey through themes of loss and longing. Fans of the band's signature blues rock sound will also find plenty to love with songs such as "When The Telephone Rings" and "The Well Is Dry", delivering the type of gritty blues that The Fluffy Jackets have become renowned for.
