I was asked pointedly (in the interests of promotion) to name a musical influence.
I was stumped.
Just one?
One that sticks out more than the others?
I couldn't think of a damn thing. I've made such an effort to try to find my own musical style and expression, that I wouldn't say I'm influenced much by what I listen to - more by who I play with.
On reflection this is the list I'd suggest in no particular order:
Joan Baez (as my Mum sang it)
Joan Armatrading (early years)
Beatles (Sgt Pepper)
Buddy Holly
Rod Stewart (early years)
Because they were the only albums my parents had when I was little.
I doubt that helps much.
I just like music where the different parts work off each other and create a beautiful whole. I think you should be able to listen to any part of the music and be interested by it.
