I’ve tried a few styles of music – from folk and country songs to what one reviewer once described as “pop in a different guise”. With this album, however, I feel like I’m definitely in singer-songwriter mode. The songs are about people, places, experiences – friends, Captain Cook, Mother Nature (don’t worry, there’s only one love song – “Once Not Twice” – and even that has a little sting at the end).I mainly play acoustic guitar, but occasionally bass, electric guitar and even banjo. Luckily for you, on this album I stick to one particularly great guitar made by Californian guitar maker Jeff Traugott, except for the German-made Lakewood I play on “Almost”

But what you hear is not just the singer-songwriter strumming his guitar. It’s my songs seen through the eyes of a very special, Grammy-nominated producer, Günter Pauler. Thanks to him, I was able to record with some fantastic musicians, such as fingerpicking maestro Jens Kommnick, who plays the only guitar on “Orphan Earth” (my personal favorite at the moment); Lea Morris, whose vocal arrangements are full of gentle surprises, beautifully sung; Manfred Leuchter – brilliant on – what else? – “Accordion Arts”; Beo Brockhausen, who has been adding color to my songs since my very first Stockfisch album “Light Green Ball” – sometimes on instruments I wouldn’t recognize if I met them in a music store; and Justin Ciuche (viola), Ian Melrose (guitar) and Lars Hansen (bass), who all played their parts perfectly

Ultimately, though, it’s thanks to Günter that what you hear on this album is … the real me, finally feeling “free to sail with the angels of the sea”. Paul Stephenson, April 2024
