Sam Cornwell and John Davies:

Some Time After

Celebrating 10 years in tandem, Live At The Old Mo is the duo's first totally live recording
She Loves The NatureStarting with one of Sam's songs, the duo's interwoven guitar patterns underscore a delicate poignant story of looking back.
DoubtA long-standing favourite from their live set, this version brings out the complementary style of the two musicians and the strength of their musical understanding.
Now And ThenWe've all been there: a long motorway journey in the dark and the rain. Wasn't it just like that? Don't we all drift away into our memories?
Your FascinationWhat a fascinating story: un coup de foudre. A look that stopped time. Have you felt that? I'm sure you have.
AnaniasNo Cornwell-Davies set is complete without one of Sam's old-time religion stompers and here is the story of Ananias who, depspite his weaknesses, continued to spread the word of the lord

Some Time After: Tracklist
Let Them KnowSam and John get right in their signature groove with this rhythmic opener. John's percussive drive interleaves perfectly with Sam's intricate blues-tinged soloing.
Restless DreamDelicate complex accompaniment with wistful harmonies to a touching tale of modern youth. Gently probing, the truth will out.
In TruthGenuine warmth and compassion continue in this contemplation on the advantages and disadvantages of genuineness.
Some Time AfterThis is slap back into mid-70s Lindisfarne territory with a bizarre, psychadelic tale as a mournful flute drifts across the crystal waters of a dingly dell. How do stories change looking back?
MountainsSpiritual feel to a Davies-penned tale of moving on and progressing. Sam snaps those licks to send shivers down your spine.
Rag And BoneWhen all's said and done, is this all we have left? Rags, bones and memories?
All The RichesPerfect love song. How better could anyone say it? Solid, simple, straightforward.
Stand Your Test In JudgementRecorded live in Digbeth, traditional has never sounded so modern! From the Deep South to South Birmingham isn't as far as it seems with Sam's committed interpretation.
Sweet LoveBack in the groove again with another live track telling a sordid, modern tale with lavish licks and that addictive percussion.
Down In The DirtSorrow never sounded this good before. Haven't we all been there?
Banks Of The BannThat William Archer, he's a boy, eh? Don't trust him girls. Steer clear.
