Danny Wilson (Danny and the Champions of the World, Grand Drive) and Robin Bennett (The Dreaming Spires, Goldrush, Saint Etienne) join forces with Tony Poole (Starry Eyed and Laughing), producer extraordinaire and king of the electric twelve-string Rickenbacker.

Pulling on influences from the 60’s pop of The Byrds, The Beatles and The Beach Boys, through to the harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, with dashes of Petty and Springsteen thrown in for good measure, what really shines through is the quality and originality of the songwriting. The songs deal with wide-ranging issues and personal truths, from the aptly titled opener Soon Enough through the biographical tale of Danny’s family in Wilson General Store and the politically-charged rallying cry of Hate Won’t Win to the social commentary of epic album-closer Lifeboat (Take a Picture of Yourself).

Bennett Wilson Poole have stumbled upon that rarity of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
