For guitar fans, Justin Sandercoe is a well known name. Be it his mega busy tutorial website, www.justinguitar.com, his tutorial columns in GT (eg his Tasty Chords series) or his session work with artists like Katie Melua, he's certainly popular. Now with his debut album, 'Small Town Eyes' released in early January, this busy guy has just got even busier!
'Small Town Eyes´ is a mixture of heartfelt chilled guitar tunes and more upbeat contemporary tracks, taking influence from Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Not only does he write and sing his own tunes but also plays guitar, mandolin, bass guitar, harmonica, lap steel and percussion.
The album is something to kick back and relax to with lyrics that are poetical, written to get you thinking and reflecting. Small Town Eyes is also set to have a limited edition, released in December 2009, which include a DVD “The making of…”, with only 2009 available and each one signed and numbered.
Fave GT tracks; the James Taylor vibed 'Forevergreen', the contrasting dynamics of 'Pity The Rose', the floaty vibes on 'Waste This' and the intimate sounding solo guitar on 'Broken'.
