Your always running,
When the tide rolls out,
Hiding when the tide comes in,
Hiding when the tide comes in,
What makes you worry?,

You say it's always bout the money,
But there is so much money here,
And we're all here in California,

Ain't this the place we oughta be?

Tonight I'm living in the words you spoke,
Trying to make you understand,
Trying to make you understand,
What makes you worry,

You say your leaving here tomorrow,
But it's tomorrow now your here,
And we're all here in California,

Ain't this the place we oughta be?

Tonight I'll try to call your mother at home,
Try to make her understand,
Try to make her understand,
She don't need to worry,
Cause you were leavin here tomorrow,
But it's tomorrow now your here,
And we're all here in California,

Ain't this the place we oughta be?

A Strange Kind of Blue – David T. Carter

Moving into yet another musical style, David T. Carter’s debut album, “A Strange Kind Of Blue” takes from the lounge, jazz, “cocktail hour” music of the 50’s & 60’s, the decades he seems to reminisce on a lot, even the album cover has a visual similarity to one of Carter’s favorite films of the 60’s “The Swimmer” with Burt Lanchaster.

This album features the beautiful female voice of “Alison Harris”, a local folk singer from Sonoma County doing harmonies throughout the entire album, also footwork from Local Flamenco Artist “La Fibi” and a host of other great Sonoma County musicians, a very elegant album, once again drawing from the elegance of the 50’s & 60’s and putting a modern cool to it with an always subtle edge that keeps the music fresh at all times.

A Strange Kind Of Blue was produced by UK Producer Gavin Monoghan , who has a near 40 yr career with local and international artists such as Scott Matthews , Robert Plant, Editors, The Twang, The Blinders and worked in studios such as Abbey Road, BBC Maila Vale, Olympic Studio. Gavin tracked the album at Carter’s NorCal Studio and mixed the album back at his own Magic Garden Studios in Bristol, England. Gavin who was quoted after hearing Carters music for the first time as saying, “I love the, I’ve lost the map & don’t care anymore feeling I get when I listen to your music”.
