Hello, and welcome....put your feet up....
This is not only the first post related to this project, it is also my first blog. Perhaps it does not matter that my entry point into blog-world is at a very late stage in the progress of this album...three years in to be exact, having started in January 2007. We've all seen films where we join the story "five years later" and are then taken back to the beginning...well, that's how this is going to be.Here's a little background first.
John O' Kane is a Scottish singer and songwriter who started his career with "Millions Like Us" in 1987, then went on to record a critically acclaimed solo album, "Solid" in 1990. Around this time Nirvana and their ilk arrived on the scene, changing everything, and the John O Kane solo career took a big diversion, in reaction to the fact that the record company were not pushing things as he would have hoped. John has always made timeless music, but you have to pick the right time to be timeless...you can't do it at any old time....that would be bad timing. Now seems like the right time. So, from solo artist, John stepped back into songwriting, which led to numerous collaborations over the years with world famous songwriters both in the UK and the USA, such as Will Jennings, Terry Britten and Paul Brady.
