"The album features some of the best players and friends I’ve ever had the privilege of working with.  They are Ian Cutler on electric violin, Fergus Feely on octave mandolin, Steve Shorey on electric and acoustic lead guitar, the sadly missed John ‘Smudger’ Smith on electric lead guitar, David ‘Rudgey’ Rudge on harmonica and Lindsey Collard (aka the Torbados Girl), Karen Hunter and Drew Millin on backing vocals.

 

I’m particularly happy about the fact that I managed to rescue some recordings my late mate Smudger and I made a couple of years ago.  I took the solos he did on those recordings, freshened them up a bit and mixed them into the tracks on Red Wing, so the old sod is still playing from beyond the grave as it were.  Smudger lives on.

 

The tune Red Wing itself is taken from a song written way back at the beginning of the 20th Century about a young Red Indian maid which I have used to top and tail a song I wrote a long time ago about Charlie Chaplin called Sad and Lonely Clown (the last song on the album).  The reason being that during the First World War the song was parodied with the words;

 

'When the moon shines bright on Charlie Chaplin,

His boots are cracking

From want of blacking

And his little baggy trousers they need mending

Before we send him to the Dardanelles'"

All songs written by Colin and once again all brand new 2011 recordings.

Going Back - Colin Reece
For some time now Colin has been inundated with requests to record a CD of some of the 
cover
songs he can be heard singing during his performances on the British pub circuit.  This, coupled with a long-standing desire by Colin to record an all acoustic album, has led to 'Going Back'.  An album of classic tracks given a totally acoustic treatment.  No bass, no drums.  Just acoustic guitar, mandolin, a hint of keyboard on one track and, of course, the distinctive Reece vocal.
A full track listing can be found on the
recording page.
Orders can be made be emailing Colin via this site.

That Old Chestnut
Colin Reece

Primarily recorded with the Torquay Christmas hotel market in
mind, Colin has nevertheless always felt that he only gets a chance to sing some of the best songs ever written for about three or four weeks of the year and thus has always wanted to record a Christmas CD.
The result is That Old Chestnut a CD containing literally that - some old chestnuts, ie some of Colin's favourite old Christmas songs.
A full track listing can be found on the recording page.
Orders can be made be emailing Colin via this site.
