I walked into Avalon studio in the spring of 2011 with Tony and Michael to see Andrè. after we had said our hellos and a brief coversation, Andrè asked me if I had any new songs. Immediately after my answer he set up the microphones, as I always have my guitar with me just incase I catch a song. "For The Promise Of Gold" became the first song to be recorded and hence ignited the project.
In order to keep the recordings spontaneous and intimate we decided that we would do all the recordings in the control room and that there would be no preproduction, no click tracks or overdubs. This enabled us to have the vibe of the album to hinge around my voice and guitar.
This album is dedicated to my boys Kapri and Santigi Bai Kamara.
