Blues and Other Truths - Debut album release from Cole & Ward

cole ward thin 1Cole & Ward have released their debut album! Released in conjunction with Green Bullet Records and available now in our CD Store. Twelve original songs, all co-written by Mark and Liam across the variety of American roots musical genres – hence the title. The album not only highlights their songwriting but also their prowess as multiinstrumentalists, as between them they play nearly all of the instruments on the recordings.

The songs range in mood and subject. For examples, Deep Blood Moon is a tongue-in-cheek werewolf song, Midnight Motorway Blues about the inconvenience of nighttime road closures, Food off My Table a plea and protest against uncaring politicians and Itinerant Waltz is a lament  by a musician who misses his missus. All the basic human day-to-day ‘truths’ are represented including love, money, alcohol, food and sleep. Inspired by traditional music styles of the American Deep South it's a roller coaster ride of emotions. You’ll laugh, smile, reflect, ponder and if no-one is watching (or you just don’t care) you’ll dance!
