Album Of The Month - January 2017
Denis Parkinson - 'Liverpool Skyline'
For our first music pick of 2017 we return to Liverpool for singer songwriter Denis Parkinson's debut album 'Liverpool Skyline'.
After taking quite a long break from the live music scene, Denis got back into gigging and quickly established himself in the flourishing singer songwriter scene in Liverpool. He recorded a couple of song demos just to see what they sounded like and to see if they could be used to get some gigs. The recording sessions went really well so he kept going and ended up with enough material for an album.
Released in March 2015, 'Liverpool Skyline' is a wonderful collection of 10 original tracks. Evoking and capturing the spirit and mood of a time he was reconnecting with Liverpool as kind of place, a concept and a lifestyle, the album is an exceptionally personal piece of work. Beautifully crafted songs with insightful and observant lyrics, together with first class musicianship and production makes for compelling and memorable listening.
Denis Parkinson's debut album is a worthy addition to the rich musical catalogue and heritage of Liverpool.
