If music be the food of love - play on
Hi and welcome to my new and premier website
www.anothercountrysong.com,
Please feel free to browse around at your leisure,
you will find that my songs lean loosely into
the country/folk/blues category. I’d like
to quote my good friend and music journalist
Pete Smith who, among other outlets writes for
Country Music Roundup, Britain’s premier
country music magazine.
‘Terry blends country with folk
a touch of the blues with occasional punk audacity
to present an interesting and entertaining programme
that sits comfortably alongside anything in
the current Texas scene’.
Quite likely the most accurate and honest appraisal
of my song writing to date, thank you Peter. |

While
I’m at it I would also like to thank Doug
Parish way down in dear old Devon for playing
my songs on your radio programmes. The past
two or three years have been most interesting
and highly creative, culminating in my long
desired wish to launch this website to highlight
my work, also its sister site www.alamosong.com.
Not all of these albums that you preview are
for sale. But I am pleased to announce that
quite a lot of the now unavailable songs from
my early recordings in the 70’s and 80’s
are featured in my two anthologies. Part 1 is
available now and part 2 will be released in
the very near future. For me this website is
a new and exciting development and I look forward
to my ongoing creative quest with renewed vigour.
Many people have contributed to and accompanied
me on my strange journey. Without them, none
of this would have happened; in particular I
would like to single out the following for special
praise, Rob Van Spyk, Brian Balster, Colin Johnson,
Dave Simpson, Ryan Sharp, Rebecka Larter, and
for the artwork Judy Billson, Fiona Friend,
Sarah Friend and Alan Hunnisett and last but
not least Alter Ego, John Saltwell, Jason Ward,
Cheryl Murphy, Martin Langshaw and Andrew Simms
for bringing my music to life.
Any comments that you may care to make about
this website, the songs or the albums will be
most welcome. I am passionate about my songs
and I hope that comes across in the recordings.
Everything about my CD’s is important
to me. The people I choose to work with, down
to the artwork and the album notes. I hope you
enjoy listening to them and as things develop
I shall update the site and keep you all informed.
Farewell for now
Terry Friend
