• Howard Werth songs The album contains many new original songs from this great songwriter, and also a Lennon & McCartney composition, and Howard's arrangements of traditional pieces.
• Howard Werth is an interesting musical character. Beginning back in the Sixties, he was the main stay of Audience, achieving some cult following and much high praise before folding. Then Ray Manzarak approached him with a view to his replacing Jim Morrison in the Doors. Nothing came of that, and Howard released solo material working in collaboration with Gus Dudgeon, Ray Manzarak, and Jake Riviera. Throughout his music has been really diverse. There may be hints of something bluesy, some fine pop, a little rock, and no little art rock too. But throughout it all, there's a sort of under current of something rootsy.
