NEW ALBUM - Hidden By The Clouds, OUT NOW!

To listen to the full album go here (You can listen in full 3 times before deciding whether to buy) https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/album/hi...

I made all of the instruments used apart from the Melodica, harmonica and a tie washboard.
On most tracks I used my favourite 3 string Cigar Box Guitar made with a Cohiba box.
On "Following In Your Tracks" I used a 5 string guitar made from a cheap box from eBay.
On "Even A Bad Road Movie Is Good" as well as my Cohiba 3 string CBG I used a lapslide made from an old spirit level.
On "Forget-Me-Not" I used a 2 stringer made with an old first aid kit tin that belonged to my parents.
In one of the lockdowns I started making some instruments with PVC pipe (and one with a hosepipe) and a kitchen funnel, with a sax mouthpiece.
It's good to have another sound at my disposal and they have made their way into some of the songs on this album...

Thanks as always to my husband for his patience at hearing these songs so many times while I was recording and mixing, and for being a great sounding board!

Comment by bemuzic on June 4, 2022 at 7:37am: Thanks A.D.EKER. Oh my husband didn't do any of the recording or mixing, I just meant he was patient listening to the same thing over and over again while I was mixing...and having to keep quiet when I was recording! He was helpful as a fresh pair of ears...and he makes and posts the CD's.
