| Nothing Between Us | ||

The songs on Nothing Between Us were mostly written in the 1990s and tend to reflect my folk background, although they all have a full band sound thanks to my use of multi - tracking. They range from the acoustic guitar/piano/flute of the title track, Nothing Between Us, to rock/soul influenced School Of Love, and the Hip-Hop influenced Walk On Water. I wrote Magnolia for its pure simplicity and praise of nature. It was the only song recorded more or less live with no sync tracks, midi time code or other paraphernalia. I wanted it to sound like I was singing it in a folk club. Reflections of John (instrumental) is my Beatles tribute, and The Gentle Wind has some three-part harmony.

The theme of the moon on this album is meant to symbolize the different places I have called home, either in England or America, and the inspiration given to me by nature, whether sitting in my garden (click for lyrics) or driving through the desert in California and Nevada. The album features three instrumentals, the title track, which was inspired by a drive to Las Vegas, Pipes of Putney, which is in an unusual time signature, and City Light, which is an acoustic instrumental played in open tuning. All the songs are original apart from I Live Not Where I Love, which was written by William Shakespeare and has a traditional tune. Summer Song is a quasi-New Age Spiritual song inspired by the bright light of California, Don't Want is a socially minded rock song, and Clifton In My Mind is about my memories of Bristol, England, where I went to university.
| Time Flies | ||

The songs on my Time Flies album are attempts at trying to describe, and get beyond our world of time and space. The title track, Time Flies was written for my father who passed away in 2002, while Give Me Time was indentured by a visit to the Grand Canyon. Soldier was recorded on an old reel to reel, with my band, the Gladys Bloggs Band in Bristol, England and has literally traveled through time to it's present digital format, patched up on the way, if only to preserve the flute solo by Stan "Rivera" Thewlis from the band Skywhale. Ain't It Time is about Gun Control in America, and And I Love Him is a cover of the Beatles song from A Hard Day's Night, which I hope I've done justice to. Desert Suite is an eight minute combination of a piano song and guitar instrumental.
| Horizon | ||

 |
My fourth CD, Horizon, was the last work in which I used my Roland V studio either for recording or mastering. Love In A Balance, for example was recorded with my band at Rota navy base, Spain, in 1978 and features Ruth King on bass and John Sweet on guitar, while Words Of Love and Turquoise Sky were recorded in my flat in Bristol on my Sony reel to reel. The other tracks are more recent originals: Sin To Be Sad is a piano based love song, That Door is a sparse acoustic guitar song with a midi cello solo, and Next Time , which I wrote after my husband died, is a social comment song about modern medicine. Before The Flood is a keyboard blues, and The Law is my attempt at writing a country song.

My latest (2022) album is a digital collection available at Spotify, Appple Music, and other platforms. Rising Sun and Solitude are instrumentals, with the other songs covering topics ranging from homelessness and romance to photography.
I also like to do covers of my favorite artists which you can see on YouTube, Periscope, or Facebook Live
and I've employed some of my instrumental tracks on my photography/video projects, like this one, called Good Evening L.A.
