I Saw A Star Behind Your Eyes, Don’t Let It Die Away
 
I Saw A Star Behind Your Eyes, Don’t Let It Die Away Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $18.00
Artist: Bennett Wilson Poole
 
 
Quantity:
 

Bennett Wilson Poole are “ready to serve” a second helping...  It's been a long time coming, but...here it is,or as some people may call it, the second Bennett Wilson Poole album!  Danny Wilson (Danny and the Champions of the World, Grand Drive) and Robin Bennett (The Dreaming Spires, Goldrush, Saint Etienne) join forces with Tony Poole (Starry Eyed and Laughing), producer extraordinaire and king of the twelve-string Rickenbacker, combining to produce a collection of songs that began as uplifting acoustic music and grew into something far more wide-ranging and transcendent.  All three collaborators have had critical acclaim in their own right. Danny Wilson’s credentials go back to his days in Grand Drive with brother Julian, and his consistent high calibre output with his Champions of the World led them to sweeping the board at the first UK Americana Awards with Album, Artist and Song of the year awards richly deserved; Tony Poole’s Starry Eyed and Laughing were hailed as “the English Byrds” on the back of their two CBS-released albums in the mid-seventies and he has since built an enviable reputation as producer and engineer; Robin Bennett has been relentlessly turning out timeless songs from his Oxfordshire base in bands from Goldrush to The Dreaming Spires, alongside founding two aaward-winningfestivals (Truck and Wood) and lending his multi-instrumental skills to other bands, including Saint Etienne.  Where the first record drank deep from 70’s US West Coast folk-rock, “I Saw A Star Behind Your Eyes, Don’t Let It Die Away” has been heavily spiked with 60’s British psychedelia, thanks once again to Tony Poole’s simultaneously masterful and playful production. The album cover features a painting by legendary counterculture artist John Hurford (whose credits includes 60’s artwork for Oz Magazine and International Times). The painting’s official title is “Late Brimstone’”.  The title of the album comes from the lyrics of the first single – “Help Me See My Way” - a prayer for strength in difficult times.  The dreamy positivity of the line "I saw a star behind your eyes" is tempered with the plea "don't let it die away”, a message which feels as important as ever.  GREAT!!
