Robert Love – Ghost Flight

11 track CD album.

“One of the best debuts I’ve ever heard.” – Kris Kristofferson

Born Robert Spragg, the son of a Welsh Mormon preacher, Larry Love always had fire and brimstone in his soul. Having studied law at Aberystwyth University, Larry left for London at 21, with a pocket full of Woodie Guthrie lyrics. He met Jake Black (Rev D.Wayne Love) and formed Alabama 3 in 1992, a musical “car crash” which merged Country Western songs with the burgeoning Acid House movement.

Brendan met Larry in the 90s not long before the Alabama 3 signed their first record deal. Brendan was in a band called Past Caring and they often played on the same bill at venues in South London. As songwriters, they were attracted to each other’s music straight away and wrote a couple of songs together not long after meeting.

Brendan spent a few years abroad, learning from musicians and their styles in Barcelona and Caracas. After returning to London, he was writing songs for Brixton-based urban country band The Messengers of God when Larry approached him to co-write much of his first solo album Ghost Flight, which was released in 2006.
