Winston Hightower - 100 Acre Wood [LP]

100 Acre Wood is a co-release presented by K and Perennial. Winnie's world hasn't always been easy Some say he could have been famous but there were complications. He had a brush with success but life got in the way. "Some people care too much. I think it's called love." So it was up to Winston Hightower to grab it, hold it and make himself heard One man in love with the sound of American lofi. What is in the ashtray of Winston Hightower's 'Day in the Life'? 14 songs that give carefree camouflage to a wistful heart -it's radiant throughout. 33RPM A player piano who can't play piano transposing his melodies on guitar Pleasant tones layered with conversations with himself. When he looks in the mirror what does this Ohio Player see? Nudge Squidfish? Daniel Johnson? Studio One Oldies Comps? Over 126 songs on tape later we are still figuring it out. All songs written and performed by Winston Hightower, except "Circling the Dream"featuring Charles Waring (Milk Music, Mystic 100s) on bass. Record- ed by Winston Hightower and Hayes Waring at home and Mobile Control in Olympia Washington, Mixed to 1/4" inch tape by Hayes Waring. Mastered by Amy Dragon This release continues the rich tradition of DIY bands crafting instant pop hits entirely on their own terms, which has long been the hallmark of the Interna- tional Pop Underground. Look for the video for singles "lay low"and "selfish soother" And a show or two... Whatever happens it is quite assuring that whatever these times may bring bands can still put out music as good as this LP.
