About Me |
|
| I write songs and I sing them. I'm also in a band called Mohanski. Check us out Link to the band. If your using Firefox whilst looking at this page you won't be able to see my music player. However it does work with internet explorer. I'm not sure why this is but Tom doesn't seem to be able to help. He's a busy man afterall. |

Music:Member Since: 11/19/2006Band Members: Me Influences: David Ackles, Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Jake Thackray, Paolo Conte, Davey Graham, Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley, Karen Dalton, CSNY, Randy Newman, David St Hubbins, Syd Barrett, Chuck Norris...... Sounds Like: "........Song writing ability, he has in spades. Patience to allow himself to express his feelings, he has in shovels......Alex is brilliant and I will say this to you good folks… If he's doing a venue near you, then go and see him. If it's vaguely near you, go and see him. If you're in a different country, then simply enjoy his sound on MySpace and tell him how lovely it is." - Living Athiest Review of "A song for someone" "Lovely stuff.....like Gruff Rhys does The White Album" - Real Wood Records "One of the most beautiful set of songs I've heard for a long time. Alex Highton is, in my opinion set for very big things. A must have album for any discerning music lover. Definitley a name to watch out for in 2007" - The Waiting Room on Error FM. "...I emphasized the fact that his music is nice. It IS nice, but nice in a good way. You can listen to it anytime and not need to be in the mood for it. It will make you happy to hear. After a long commute home from work at night, you can turn it on, take a deep breath, and suddenly feel completely fine. I don't know how he does it, but Highton can make a fantastic song." - Not On Your Radio Blogspot. "I bet loads of people like this, because it's the good old honest variety of music, i.e. one man, his guitar and his voice. A gravelly sound, but a sweet guitar and a good voice. This is a traditional ballad, as far as I'm concerned and this dude should pack out small venues a real treat. It's got cold winter nights written all over it, but from the perspective of a warm bar. Nice." - Living Athiest Review of Another "Dealing in swooning, Beatlesesque pop, singer/songwriter Al Highton creates music that transports you to long hot summer days and hazy mornings. With toes dipped in psychedelia, folk and pure pop......A sublime and hypnotic sounding collection of songs, the FAT CHAMPS EP sets Al Highton up as a singer/songwriter destined for impressive things; this is a gorgeously realised first impression - UK MUSIC SEARCH REVIEW MAY 07 Type of Label: None |
