Tall Timbre
Ted Simpson, Mark Kirk and their band
Tall Timbre have recently completed their second CD "After The
Grind" due for release October 17th.
The first single "Swing That Axe"
talks of Mark getting to know about his father's days as a
timber getter near Glen Davis. The track perfectly captures
Ted's voice and the easy listening yet driving Australian
country sound of the band.
The work also brings together some of Australia's finest country
musicians including Jake Lardot, Stuie French, Michel Rose, Mick
Albec, Ian Lees, Glen Skarrat, Rudi Miranda, Mike Kerin, Nicki
Gillis, as well as the Tall Timbre crew of Ted Simpson, Mark
Kirk, Damien Odell, Dave Roberts, John Lee and Steve Shepherd.
Other songs on the CD are heavily influenced by Ted and Mark's
life experiences in Australia and draw inspiration from areas as
diverse as yearning for home when touring (Murrumbidgee
Rolling), falling in love (Roads I Didn't Take) as well as
tributes to Australian pioneers and shipwrecks. And what would
any true country offering be without a few songs about lost
love, closed rail lines, the plight of starving children and the
ever popular country theme of ending it all.

Hi everyone,
Having almost recovered from a week living in Margaritaville (aka
Tamworth), I have an opportunity to kick off the first Tall Timbre
newsletter for 2007.
Here's the programme for February.
Firstly;
hope y'all can make it to the show on next Thursday 8th
February.
We'll be previewing trax from our new album, some of which havn't
yet been played to an unsuspecting public, so come along and be
guinea pigs for the night........some feedback would be terrific!.
Tall Timbre will be in acoustic mode; Ted and I will be joined by
Steve Shepard on bass and John Lee on fiddle.
The attached flyer has all the details.
Admission is free, the venue is fantastic and you can get a good
meal before the show.
The weekly Barfly's jam night will be back soon. Sorry about the
delay, but I think I'm ok to go with it again. The first night
will probably be in early March, will advise soon. I hope all of
you who supported it last year will come back again.
Yes, I know it's been 6 years, but the new album is almost ready
!!!!!!!!!
Great line up of supporting musos......Jake Lardot, Ian Lees, Rudy
Miranda, Michel Rose, Mike Kerin and some cameos from special
guests.
We've recorded at Ben Robinson's studio in the mountains and the
final mixes will be done starting February 12. There are 13 trax
in all, including 4 covers, with songs by Jimmy Webb, Kevin
Montgomery and Hunter & Suzy Owens, which we've tried to do a
little outside of the original versions.
There will be a launch party, to which you're all invited; details
released when the discs are in our hands.
look forward to seeing y'all soon.
