Well here it is, this one has taken us ages and ages to record, some really awkward keys, timing signiatures,harmony lines and trying new arrangements, it's pretty hard when you can't afford a Producer and hope that you get it right, much music was left on the cutting room floor and a big thank you to Ben Van Weede who played violin on half the tracks including harmony and counter lines, only to be credited with a bit of pizzicato on Flamenco Red, after a lot of musical score writings as well.

This  was a bit of directional change for TBFMS (well our Publisher thought so) and we have added additional percussion from Dave and Slide Guitar courtesy of Chris Billings on 4 of the tracks, and doing our best to avoid clutter a the same time, Dave kept reminding us that less is more and we also tried hard not to give it that cliche'd country feel but give a very different Boys From Melbourne Street sound. The feed back from Download Companies and Radio DJ's is that it works pretty well and we think so to. " A Walk In the Park" not only gives variety of melodic and catchy tunes but also flows effortlessly from one track to another" Doug Parish from 10 Radio (thanks Doug)

Influences for this album starts with  "Ride With Me" which is about my car, an aging Beemer convertible which still manages to give me a feeling of freedom and escape everytime I drop the hood and hit the roads in glorious sunshine, so thank you BMW, if enough people buy the album I may be able to afford a newer one.( Maybe they could sponser us)

"Flamenco Red" is the story about one of the finalist in the very first series of Strictly Come Dancing, who were supposed to win but didn't as they hadn't enough friends willing to ring in zillions of times to secure their stardom, it was a travesty of justice as they were by far the best (in my opinion and also the judges) but hey, we got to write a song about them so at least they are immortalised even on an obscure record label.

"Demascus Road" is a song for us all, each and everyone of us on our life's journey meet and part with people every so often and then join up again further down the road as well as walking for a long time side by side with others, this is a contemopory folk song which features just Colin and Guitar,although it started off as a full band recording we ended up stripping it right down to voice and guitar and was described by Terry Murrey as " one of the most beautiful songs he had heard in a long time if you play this on your own, I suggest you bring the tissues as well", it apparantly has that effect.

I don't want to go through the entire album track by track, just to say the format is similar to the pervious two, we have our usual jazz flavoured songs, a couple of Country Sounds, the essential Instrumental and our rock/pop song just to let you know we can,11 tracks of fab music.

Great new Mastering software from Beatski Studios has enhanced this album to ensure that it sounds absoloutly brilliant on all types of systems including the tiniest of radios and finest of Hi Fi's "Wealthy Man" will blast your socks off so turn it up and enjoy.

The Boys From Melbourne Street have already written their fourth album which has a bluesy feel to, slower paced and a bit more philosphical in it's lyrical content, yet again new instrumentation from Dave Eustace. Nick Smirnoff from Beatski Studios has made this his final album and it was a great pleasure and a bit of an adventure for all of us to do 3 albums with him, a big thank you to Nick for his dedication, hard work and artic conditions in the studio.

More later about the  fourth album (probably)
