Mayflies

Recently came across a few songs by Benjamin Francis Leftwich. Now he has a new album and another batch of songs to discover.

The Bigger The Ocean .....

From 1979. On vinyl. Rock on the Virgin Record Label. Don't recall how I discovered this band. It's been so long since my last listen that it's like hearing the record for the first time.

1979 .... A time of discovery. Branching out into New Wave and edgier Rock sounds. Joe Jackson and The Boomtown Rats. Dire Straits just starting out. I hadn't lost interest in Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens and Neil Young but I was suddenly searching in different directions. I can likely blame that on college.

The record sounds very much dated now but is still of great historical value. It assists in recalling those long ago days of youth. You can browse through the bins of countless used record stores and see a lot of the same records from the 1970's and 80's but you're not likely to come across Big Oceans by Interview.
