Unlike the direct flights that can take you far from the familiarities of home, creating music is often a journey that never follows a straight path. It can be, in fact a meandering trek that leaves you wondrously lost. Such was the experience of Canadian singer songwriter John Richard who, on a visit to Dublin, found himself fascinated and inspired by the sights and sounds of that timeless and history-rich city. Alone and without an agenda, he explored the city and found that the sites, buildings and people provided kernels of ideas which later he was able to develop into these songs. 7 songs written in Dublin, recorded in Canada about love, life, and the devil. Influences include Otis Redding, Black Sabbath, and Daniel Lanois.
