South London bluesman, Duke Garwood, releases his new album. Garden Of Ashes, through Heavenly Recordings.

At it's heart, this is a lovingly crafted album filled with messages of tolerance and peace because, Garwood believes there is already enough anger in the world without releasing an album of angry music.

There's a '60s hippy feel to tracks like 'Blue', but overall, Garwood's vocals will sooth even the angriest of souls. It's a retro sounding album, brought into the present, with overtones of the future. It's an album your parents could have enjoyed, your unborn children should love and you will get a kick out of. The LP contains 11 tracks (42 min, 13 sec).
