Ireland's Brian Houston releases single, album; undertakes tour
BELFAST rock 'n' roller Brian Houston has a new single and album
released to coincide with his latest UK tour. The single "Oranges" was
requested by BBC Radio 2 and has already received airplay. The album
'Three Feet From Gold' Houston began recording in January 2008 in
Dublin with members of his live band from Belfast. Read a press
release, "It is an energetic and varied album featuring a nod to '40s
doowop legends The Ink Spots on 'A Man Like Me' while 'Sister Of Mine'
features the gospel choir Sense Of Sound (as seen on TV's Last Choir
Standing). This eclectic mix of vintage influences and pop sensibility
is an impressively varied mix of classic songwriting." Houston's
nine-date tour began in Petersfield on 26th September and concludes in
Belfast on 9th October.
This is an amazing album, in my opinion Brian's best yet. From the classy artwork on the cover to the final beat of the last track this is guaranteed to keep you enthralled. Three Feet From Gold - absolutely, like an Olympic winner stepping off the podium after receiving his medal...
