This is a mix based on the John Steinbeck novel ‘Cannery Row’ which is one of my all time favourite books. I’ve tried to catch the emotions that I felt while reading the book in the mix. The heady carefree jazz, the bluesy Johnny Cash and the mournful Vashti Bunyan.
A departure from my usual electronica stuff – hope you like it!

PS – yes I know that there’s some typos in the cover art but I’ll be f***d if I can be arsed to go back and re-do the whole thing
