Alan's songs
cover a range of themes. These include everyday themes like buying a house,
sailing on the weekend, childhood memories, love as well as more intense themes
including the treatment of people with a mental illness, feelings evoked from
visiting war
memorials,historical themes.
He views lyrics as being of central importance and is quite proud of the
strength of many of his lyrics.
Maybe This Year
Maybe This Year is Alan's first album.
Maybe This Year is now available for the price of $15.00 AUD plus $2.00 AUD
postage. The CD is only available to Australian residents from this website.
This album is an independent production, recorded at home. All instruments are
played by Alan and all songs are written by Alan. It is a "back to
basics" production featuring vocal, guitar and bass. It is best described
as "rootsy" or even "hand made".
The songs bridge the gap between Country Music (particularly Traditional Country
Music) and Folk Music.
