about

It's a beautiful picture that graces the cover - one of Gilles Caron's epic images from Paris, 1968. "The bloke throwing paving stones at a line of police" he said, when asked what he wanted the cover to be. His reasoning: It's the best picture of civil disobedience ever taken - one lone soul against the power of the state.

Some people want to roll over at the slightest sign of displeasure from those that we elect to run our affairs. Fats makes it clear that he has no intention of doing that when he can see so much wrong in the world.

And then, of course, there's the 'sweet romance': the Lonesome Cowgirl, the Vancouver Redhead and the beautiful nod to one of his heroes, the late Simon H. Fell.

Another remarkable collection of pieces from Gravesend Fats, on an instrument that shouldn't be played the way he plays it, and shouldn't sound the way he makes it sound.
