    Album Reviews:

    “(This disc) is brilliantly eclectic and wide ranging, clearly one of the best albums I’ve heard so far in 2017.” Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine

    “The vet Australian roots rocker comes back with his first new set in way too long and it should serve to be an international career maker. A killer amalgam of 70s sounds from before MTV and AOR codified everything and there was room for something with a beating heart to break through, this set is already up for every award in it's home turf and it's easy to see why. Folk? Blues? Roots? It's all here and it sounds glorious without a pre fab note in the bunch. Well done.” Midwest Record

    “Achison refines a type of emotional realism ideally tailored to his gift for songwriting. “High Wire” in particular makes a strong claim to be a minor masterpiece of conflated blues, rock and soul.” 4 Stars. Frank John-Hadley, Downbeat Magazine

about

Composer: Geoff Achison (control)

lyrics

Way back in ancient history
When the world had just begun
Some people got the gift of the gab
Some people got a fix of the fab
And some people got all da fonk

I just wanna be that smooth
I just wanna feel that groove
I just wanna hit the dance floor
And maybe even bust a move

But I can count from one to four
And I can count from four to one
But I just can’t get that fonk

Some People have all the fun
Some peoples got all da fonk (x2)

Ya lay the downbeat on the one
Set the groove with the bass and drum
Tune into that other place
And get your inner munky goin’ on

We tried to analyse it
Down at the iFonk lab
We even tried to synthesise it
I got a little smart phone app

I got the riffs from a website link
I tried to think like a fonkster thinks
But I still ain’t got that fonk

Some People have all the fun
Some peoples got all da fonk (x2)

*** INST ***
Talk about, Larry Graham & Bootsy Collins
Professor Longhair and Dr John
Ya getting’ up when they get on down
Ya getting’ off when they get it on

So I went down to Louisiana
To the city of New Orleans
Workin’ out on the old piano
I heard the spaces in between
See you could count from one to four
And you could count from four to one
But you’ve just got to feel that funk

Some People have all the fun
Some peoples got all da fonk (x2)
