WALKING TO THE MOON
Brambus 1995 71-2 (CD.)
Singer/Songwriter Cowlan's bluesy, semi-acoustic fifth album stands out from the crowd courtesy of fine playing, a wry sense of humour and some highly original instrumentation.
Rock'n'reel. GB
He has an eye for the minutiae of everyday experience, and a talent for story-telling.
Folk on Tap. GB
This is very much an 'acoustic' album with background 'Blues' influence, and the songs range as widely as ever. From extra-terrestrial intelligence to neo-nazis (who are of questionable intelligence and who certainly ought to be extraterrestrial); from lunar mythology to Russian air-hostesses; from embattled trees, to mysterious encounters in Amsterdam. The last three songs comprise a humorous side-swipe at the Eurolunacy of the EEC, Rock-and- rolling clerics in an English cathedral, and a pedigree dog with serious personal hygiene problems!
'Moonlight in my head helps me see things straight.
Lovers met too early, and strangers met too late.
All my songs and stories have holes in their shoes,
dust in their pockets and a dose of the Walking Blues.'
