Manson Grant and the Dynamos - Golden Memories

"From the opening acoustic guitar notes of the Carter Family's 'Wildwood Flower' (how apt that it be incorporated into a song entitled 'Golden Memories') to the last shimmering jingle of the tambourine on 'Help Stamp Out Lonliness' this album featuring top class musicianship from some of Nashville's finest session players allied to the vocal and musical prowess of Manson Grant, David Shearer and Robert Cameron is, quite simply, the best ever release by Manson Grant and the Dynamos.

Produced in Nashville by one time Buckaroo, Mark Mosely, this album not only features songs from established country music luminaries such as Buck Owens, Mel Tillis and Carl Belew but newer names such as Gary Gentry who has written songs for George Jones, John Anderson and David Allen Coe, Texan Bob Hasslett who provided the title track and the Nashville based duo Tom Hamilton and Mal Stover.

Country Music Australian style gets an airing via Brian Letton's 'When We First Fell in Love' (which gave hime a number one country hit in Australia in 1990) and the UK scene is featured via my own composition 'The Best Years of My Life'.

The enhancement of my song by the Nashville Pickers is, to my ears, quite exceptional and far exceeds my expectations. I hope that you, the listener, will feel the same with regard to all ten tracks featured on this album. I do hope this album is a success - it certainly deserves to be!"
