Following the success of Rob Gould plays Pawn Hearts, Rob covers another of his all-time favourite albums in his own inimitable way.

 

An intriguing labour of love.

 

‘Nursery Cryme had been a huge influence on me as a late-teen, and has stayed with me throughout my life as a musician.

 

In stark contrast to Pawn Hearts, where I felt there was a lot of room for my own interpretation of the three epic songs on that album, with Genesis – summed up by the understated quote of Michael Rutherford – “If you play all the right notes, then the songs will sound quite good” - there was less room for improvisation, and I knew I had to get 'all the right notes' as close to the original versions as much as possible, albeit with my own unavoidably personal style , and the unique feel and sounds of my friends.' - Rob Gould

 

The CD - included with the LP - includes versions of Happy The Man and Twilight Alehouse as bonus tracks.
