Nightbird

Albums aren’t a thing anymore. But they’re still a thing.

I once released one called A Human Being. (Copies still available!)

And then I began on this long and winding road of releasing 150 singles in a row. The 151st tomorrow.

More numbers….I turn 60 next year, and I’ve been pondering the idea of
releasing a second solo album to celebrate. I would pick the songs that I personally love the most, from among the many I’ve recorded.

It’s funny picking favourites. One or two spring to mind straight away. But we’re such changeable creatures, and my own opinions about my own songs are as flexible and in flux as everybody else’s. In addition, I do believe that the best albums, the ones that work as albums, need to have some kind of musical or lyrical thread. So I might have to be even more selective in my favouritism.

Anyway, todays blog title came along. And Nightbird could really be a contender. I do like this one.
