Only the second Dave Cousins solo album in his nearly 40 years of recording, this new release features the talents of the professionals who make up the impressive Blue Angel Orchestra. The infectious enthusiasm of this grouping shines through, giving the album very much a band feel, which is astonishing given how little they have so far played together.
Dick was lucky enough to have the opportunity this weekend (20 May) to listen to the album with Dave and Pinnacle label manager Andrew Geddes in Deal. Check out Dick Greener's preview.
We've uploaded a few extracts from the superb new Dave Cousins album "The Boy In The Sailor Suit" onto Strawbsweb for you listen - you'll get a feel for the breadth and depth of the album, which in my view contains some of Dave's best writing for a number of years.
