CATCH A SINGING BIRD ON THE ROAD

The Private Album [Liner Notes]

"While my pedal steel gently weeps...": probably the first country rock album from Germany, also self-produced, this time for CBS. The title song "Catch A Singing Bird On The Road" is both a motto and a metaphor for melancholy. A change of direction aspiring towards the specific, the homogenous, the right and proper, with a laid back feeling and an almost idiosyncratic intimacy.
