“Growing Old (Songs From My Front Porch)’
“I really wanted to record a selection of intimate songs that could resonate with the listener,” says former John Peel favourite, JJ. “Stories of life, family, friends, good times, sad times, loss and happiness… “
Recorded at Liverpool’s famous Crosstown Studios and co-produced by Jon Lawton (Sami Yusef, Eighth Day Army), the record has been mastered by Peter Maher (Rolling Stones, U2) and was recorded with a selection of hand-picked musicians.
The record includes a duet with JJ’s old friend and Nashville Liverbird Siobhan Maher-Kennedy (River City People, John Prine) and some songs are adorned with beautiful string arrangements from Amy Chalmers (Robert Vincent, Two Black Sheep). The intimate album consists of 12 reflective and stripped-back songs.
