Issue 51 of Blues Matters
The 51st issue of Blues Matters will be out shortly and I have two interviews in this one. The first is the marvellous Jon Allen, who is a British songwriter with a superb debut CD called ‘Dead Man’s Suit.
The second is with the Canadian duo The Pack A.D. – admittedly this one has been hanging around a while. I think it was done about this time last year, while I spoke to Jon Allen in the spring.
Here’s an excerpt from the Jon Allen interview to wet your musical appetite:
“Dead Mans Suit” is quite a retro album. It has got that early 70s vibe.
Yeah, I was frozen in the 70s and I’m being thawed out in 2009. It’s weird. I suppose that’s the sort of music that gets me going and excited. I naturally gravitated towards it. I was just following my heart. I didn’t have a major label who wanted me to make it sound whatever. We just did what we wanted to do.
