   About Danny Widdicombe
.. ..


After touring the country singing and playing guitar in his band The Wilson Pickers and for the likes of Bernard Fanning and Tim Rogers, Danny has finished recording his sophomore solo album “Dominoes”.

“Dominoes” is what you might call “cosmic cowboy music” or modern folk, but these titles don’t give the full picture. “Cannonball” is like a mix of Leonard Cohen and Sufjan Stevens, “My Desires” has all the angst and urgency of R.L. Burnside, “No Place to Hide” is like a menagerie of the English countryside (dedicated to English sculptor Andy Goldsworthy) and “Give Me Just One More Chance” takes you back to the time when swinging, folk / jazz, 78 records were spinning on portable gramophones at summer picnics all over New Orleans. But all these styles fit together so neatly, with Danny’s voice and virtuosic guitar lines threading cohesiveness throughout the album.

In late 2006 Danny released his debut solo album “The Transplant Tapes” which is an audio photo album of Danny’s monumental recovery from a life threatening bone marrow transplant. Rather than re-live the pain of his battle, Danny has tempered the music to reflect his own positive attitude to life with soothing acoustic tones and heart on the sleeve lyrics delivered with conviction, warmth and honesty. Like a soundtrack to a very personal film, the varying musical styles on the album combine to create this cohesive story of a healing soul.

Check out our new blog and let your mind wander...

http://planetofthescrapes.blogspot.com/

"Also hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and abandoned Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands inundated by the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and lost times from beyond the beyond." Julian Cope
