After many years of performing and recording many local artists, Al decided to make time to record his own music. Pearshape is jam-packed with good songs.Their variety jostle for your attention, and you wonder what you`re gonna get next. With Pearshape the feeling of anticipation is sustained and rewarded.That`s because Al writes,sings and plays with his heart on his sleeve, but also rolls up his sleeves and does the hard work.All songs are written by Al with a leaning towards lush harmonies and Beallesque melodies.The appearance of a number of talented guest artists in fine form is simply the icing on the cake.
