m.i.s.s. is my second solo album. I wrote the entire album in 4 weeks as I was sailing on a boat down the great Mississippi river in.
The album title, is thus a homage to the river, but the title also hints at a “missus” ( a woman ) that the poet is “missing” while sitting on the boat with a guitar in his hand and overlooking the mighty river.
Like my debut album “Urges” the new album is composed in a singer-songwriter style, but with some influences that I picked up on the river, and the listener may detect echos of country, folk and even blues.
All together, the 12 songs on “m.i.s.s” tell the story about my trip down the river, on a boat called “Southern Nights” remembering the people I met, the good times as well as the more perilous times when storms hit from out of nowhere and the boat got caught between lightning bolts, torrential rain and forceful currents and undertows.
I was deeply moved by this journey and I’ve solidified the memory of the river in the album you are now beholding.
