Nothing Between Us
  1. Walk In Love
  2. Nothing Between Us
  3. School of Love
  4. I Thought It Was You
  5. Walk On Water
  6. Magnolia
  7. Reflections of John
  8. January
  9. The Gentle Wind


            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 (please see YouTube video below) 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.




Mojave Moon
  1. Mojave Moon
  2. Picture Frame
  3. Don't Want
  4. Garden
  5. Pipes of Putney
  6. Clifton In My Mind
  7. Fairy Song
  8. I Live Not Where I Love
  9. Summer Song
  10. City Light


            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 four instrumentals, the title track, which was inspired by a drive to Las Vegas, Pipes of Putney, which is in an unusual time signature, Fairy Song, inspired by the lush West Country in England, 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 was inspired by the beautiful sunlight of Southern California, Picture Frame is a rock-ballad/love song, 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 college. Below are some video versions of Mojave Moon, Fairy Song (Waiting), Garden, and Clifton In My Mind which you can watch here or on YouTube.




Time Flies
  1. Mystical Thing
  2. The Walk (instrumental)
  3. And I Love Him
  4. Ain't It Time
  5. Be A Dancer
  6. Give Me Time
  7. Soldier
  8. Time Flies
  9. Desert Suite

            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 indpired 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" Thewliss from 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 (please see video below). Desert Suite is an eight minute combination of a piano song and guitar instrumental.



Horizon
  1. Sin To Be Sad
  2. That Door (instumental)
  3. Before The Flood
  4. Hollow Out My Heart
  5. Next Time
  6. Do Right Woman
  7. Love In A Balance
  8. Words Of Love
  9. Summertime

             My fourth CD, Horizon is really a work in progress and the track list has not been finalized yet. Two of the tracks are quite old, Love In A Balance recorded with my band at Rota navy base, Spain, and Words Of Love in my flat in Bristol in the 1970s. The other tracks are either recent originals or two of my favorite covers, Do Right Woman, as recorded by Aretha Franklin (it's also been recorded by other artists such as Joan Baez) and Summertime by George and Ira Gershwin. Below are some videos of four songs from this album. Sin To Be Sad was shot in urban Los Angeles, at some of my favourite locations and Canyon Stream was taken at Eaton Canyon in Altadena, just below Mount Wilson, with the instrumental "That Door" as the music track. Do Right Woman features some shots of L.A. at night, and Next Time , which was written for my late husband Ron Ferrara, was shot in Glendale, California.
