    Silhouette will be our last CD so it is an emotional one for us.
    Due to the realities of streaming and the demise
    of the CD as a format it will no longer be financially viable in the future, so it is the end of an era for us.
    Every musician on this album and their brilliant performances exist because of the generosity of you dear friends.
    When you hear the whole album we hope you will agree it is a worthy time capsule. The list of all the people we need to thank is too numerous to fit on this page but we thank you one and all.
    A special thanks to Doug Edwards, Purl Retsina & Juan, Paul Jackson, Catherine Wishart, Roy & Marion Nicholson, Matt Barletta, Keith and Rachel Milne, Rike Kullack and Maureen Cahill. We would also like to thank Elly Mantzaris and John Durr for the wonderful artwork and pressing of every CD we have made and to Jim Blackfoot and Linda Nagel for the great mics. We could not have made this album without the huge assistance of the world class musicians who played on it.
    This recording would also not be possible without many generous contributions, both privately and from our Indiegogo crowd fundaiser. We can’t thank you enough.
    Nina Vox & Tony King

lyrics

Your dream of being a doctor was in vain
A crashing bus caused you a life of pain
In hospital you painted in your bed Surreal but it was what was in your head
Then Diego came
You flew into his flame Drinking in the pain
With paint and tears and love
Frida you surrendered your smile
Frida the man was your child
and your lover and your universe for a while.
The ecstasy and torture of his love
The marriage of the elephant to the dove
Crippled by your legs and his affairs
In the shadows of his murals you were there
With lovers of your own
Still you felt alone
The need for him had grown With paint and tears and love
Frida you surrendered your smile
Frida the man was your child
and your lover and your universe for a while.
Everything was blue inside the house
The man of words was quiet as a mouse
You’d painted all that needed to be said He lay there right beside you on your bed
Sacred as a psalm
He held you in his arms
Til your mind was calm
Until the pain... faded from your head
Frida you surrendered your smile
Frida the man was your child
Frida you surrendered your smile
Frida the man was your child
and your lover and your universe for a while

about

Beautifully Mad image

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
