Mark Heard to produce Garth Hewitt's upcoming album in America
GARTH HEWITT,
currently touring Britain with his 'Chain Of Love' show highlighting
the plight of Palestinian Christians, is shortly to begin work on his
new album in America. Producer for the project will be US
Acoustic-rock veteran Mark Heard. Hewitt expects the project to be
less country-tinged than his latest Nashville-recorded album. "I have
country in my roots, but I also have folk in my roots," explained
Hewitt, "and I expect this album to have more of a rootsy folky style,
with the songs built up around a guitar/harmonica base. I'm hoping
Mark Heard will play guitar, mandolin and piano accordion on the
album." Hewitt has travelled extensively in the last year, and the
album's subject matter reflects that, with songs based on his
experience in the Philippines, Palestine, South Africa and Brazil.
Working title for the album is "Lonesome Troubadour" and the expected
release date is April 1991.
