This is the long awaited debut album by 28 year old Ady Ferguson, who has been performing and writing his own songs since he was 15 years old. The first record he bought was Paul Weller, but he has always been interested and influenced by soul music of the Motown variety as well as by Northern soul. Its the rawness of it which appeals to me he says, but I also like better known artists like The Small Faces, John Martin, Peter Green, Jeff Buckley, Al Green, Otis Redding and Curtis Mayfield. On a more modern note, Ive really been influenced by Ray La Montagne, whose voice I like, as well as his songwriting. I also enjoy Ben Harper, Jack Johnson and Kelly Joe Phelps, basically if it sounds good i will listen to it.
Seasons Change was recorded at Newcastles Cluny Studios and produced by Tony Davis, who also contributed keyboards, and Jim Hornsby, who added lead guitar. The top local rhythm section of Neil Harland (bass) and Paul Smith (drums) were also on hand, and the results are impressive, as Ady finally commits 11 of his best original songs to CD, including Getting Better, Come And Go and Let You Know.
Ady has been widely predicted for future stardom, including by the undersigned, and this first offering has already been well received by his numerous local fans. Now the plan is to broaden his horizons
