TERRY STAMP. Los Angeles gslmusic@aol.com . LOS ANGELES - 2012 . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fspwwf26jeE TERRY STAMP - 'BOOTLACE JOHNNIE AND THE NINETY-NINES' - Burning Shed, UK, #BSHED 0404. Intense, poetic, earthy and emotive, the astonishing 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' has been sensitively guided by the inventive production and playing of Alistair Murphy and his "Cromerzone Cats". 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' is also a potent reminder of Terry Stamp's highly individual voice, songwriting and lyrical style. Occasionally recalling the likes of Tom Waits, Kevin Coyne and Van Morrison, Stamp's songs carve a highly distinctive path of their own. Recorded in England and America, the CD edition of 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' additionally includes two tracks recorded by Terry Stamp and Jim Avery in Chicago by TWW fan and world-renowned producer Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio Studio. Tracks: Disc 1 , 1. Christmas the Way I Like it , 2. Bootlace Johnnie , 3. The Ice Lizard Hometown Fair , 4. Riverstones , 5. Traitor's Gate , 6. Nightingales , 7. Wastelanders , 8.

Terry Stamp follows his acclaimed Burning Shed debut 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' (Uncut's 'Americana Album Of The Month' and Daily Mirror's 'Album Of The Week') with 'Howling for the Highway Home', which featured twelve evocative narrative-driven songs again guided by the inventive production and playing of Alistair Murphy and his "Cromerzone Cats". Along with covers and name-checks from Marc Almond and Paul Weller and an article in Classic Rock, 'Howling for the Highway Home' is yet another strong addition to the growing reputation of this underrated and influential singer-songwriter. "There's a songwriting talent here worthy of comparison to Waits, Springsteen, Davies and Dylan. Anything can happen in a Terry Stamp lyric, where the join between narrative fantasy, true-life observation and oblique autobiography is impossible to spot. Before the end, you'll be propositioned in Revolution Square, receive a drunken phone call from the Reeperbahn, and find yourself parked out by the lake, contemplating drinking it all? "Quite some journey." - Marcus Gray, Classic Rock Magazine. Tracks: 1. The Soul of Sundown , 2. Flake , 3. The Magic Powder of the Valley Vulcan , 4. Rosalinda , 5. Voltaire Blues , 6. Immortals , 7. Christmas Eyes , 8. Standing With The Detainees , 9. Howling For The Highway Home , 10. If You Owe You Will Pay , 11. Fatsticks , 12. Ancient History Now.
