Hans Theessink - Call Me - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For our duo album PAY DAY we went to Pinky's paradise to record in a relaxed atmosphere in beautiful, inspiring surroundings in the hilly vineyards of southern Styria. Our recording engineer Thomas LInchffler brought in the equipment and set up a makeshift studio, connecting the rooms we were going to use. I really enjoyed singing and playing with Wilson - we had a ball. Wilson and I had picked songs for the session - some old, some new, some borrowed. The songs are bluesy with several excursions to related musical areas - it's all music to us. We had lots of fun cooking up our special musical stew with all the natural ingredients, spices and flavors - enjoy! Album Tracks 1. Everybody Ought to Treat 2. A Stranger Right 3. Walking 4.

A low-key but emotionally moving collection of stripped down songs, performed by Hans Theessink, who plays and sings with singular grace, using his honeyed baritone and his soulful pickin' to reinterpret songs by people as diverse as Hank Williams, Tom Waits, Bo Diddley, Johnny Cash, and the Rolling Stones, recasting all of their familiar tunes and a few of his own in service to a movie based on the Austrian version of Everyman, the English morality play.

Forty years in the making, InchThe Candy John AlbumInch is the debut, solo outing from celebrated singer/songwriter and legendary Donovan percussionist Candy John Carr. After years of successful of collaborations with some of the music world's most colorful personalities, Candy John has stepped up to the microphone and opened his heart right into your stereo Produced by Richard Barone. - How does one go about capturing a free spirit? As a producer, that is often the question. The producer's job is both to capture the spirit and allow it to be free at the same time. Yes, it can be done, and we have attempted to do exactly that on the album you are holding in your hands. I first became aware of Candy John on Donovan's 1970 Open Road album, which was itself a departure for Donovan. That album indeed breathed with the spirit and freedom of the open road, and I understand now how Candy John was a great instigator of it's ethos and conception. Since then, his own road has led to many places and spaces - discoveries of the heart and mind. It was an absolute pleasure to help him put it all together, set to the beats and melodies of his supremely natural musicality, on this very special long-player. May it accompany you like a dear friend on your own journeys. - Richard Barone, NYC 2020 Album Tracks 1. Can't Get Enough 2. Open Your Heart 3. Fallen Angels 4. Deep Love 5. Land of the Living Dead 6. Corporate Crime Club 7. Living with Emptiness 8. Mother's Nature's Got the Blues 9. Thrill Me 10. Try to Do the Right Thing
