After years as musical mainstay in Denim and Go-Kart Mozart, as well as stints as keyboard player for Death In Vegas, Duffy, McAmont & Butler and many more, Terry Miles is currently indulging his love of boogie woogie and gospel piano with his popular YouTube adventures, guerilla performances, and now this studio album recorded in London through spring and summer 2021.
Although superficially light years from his musical day jobs, Miles and his cast of friends have captured a real exuberance and good-time vibes on these tracks in a kind of reclaiming of a genre that's often dismissed.
Fellow Go-Kart Mozart contributors, family, friends and bandmates make up the studio band while Terry hammers out the gospel on a 110 year old grand piano.
The result is an unselfconscious mix of Lieutenant Pigeon, Chas n Dave, the Wild West, and of course, good-rockin' church music.
Selections include hymns, traditional religious songs, the theme to 70s Western series Alias Smith & Jones, and an original song 'Generous Jesus', composed by Terry and his dad Kevin Miles.
