Inspired by a conversation about owning an embarrassing number of guitars, when asked: “how many do you have?” All Andy could say was “put it this way, I’ve got too many guitars to give up now!” and so this album was born. The Album was recorded live in Edinburgh on an analogue system to retain that warm classic blues sound.
