Notes on Moving Out To The Country by Jools Holland

NOTES by JOOLS HOLLAND

Why should I do a record of country songs? Firstly, because I love these songs and I have been playing them all my life, and secondly, because Solomon Burke and I wrote a song called 'Moving Out To The Country' and Solomon suggested to me doing a record of country songs in my style. What I have always loved about these songs was the way that they are so perfectly formed. Their melodies and lyrics hit us like an arrow hits a target. I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to this record and collaborated on the songs.

"Darkness On The Face Of The Earth" - KT Tunstall - LISTEN TO AUDIO

I have always been a huge Willie Nelson fan and it was wonderful to find out that KT was too. KT is one of the great new voices of this century. She could sing any kind of song and make it sound good, but when she takes a great song like this one it becomes something else again. For high fidelity fans I would like to point out that there are two drummers on this. One on the left and one on the right. This is a very dangerous way to start a record.
