Description:
"DANCE WlTH A FLOWER IN YOUR HAIR", Tony Faehse's third all original genre blending and bending album, mixes vocal and instrumental tracks with a spectrum of styles ranging from the sultry tango "Sensual", sophisticated samba "Wine of Tuscany" and flamenco funk "Come with me, down to the sea", to poignant celtic melodies. as well as sensitive contemporary songs! Unifying this bewildering melange of worldness is the sound of Tony's classical guitar and his particular writing style, the result of a long musical journey, and giving it form are some particularly fine Melbourne musicians, many of whom having previously featured on his earlier work. These include remarkable vocal performances by Brazilian specialist Diana Clark, including a duet on the title track "Dance with a flower in your hair" with actor / session singer Rob Price, (Tony features on vocals too, most notably the retro / indie / pop sounding "Little boxes" and the ensemble "Comes the morning"). Virtuosic George Butrumlis (Zydeco Jump) adds the passion of his accordion, ubiquitous Jen Anderson the haunting emotion of her violin and viola. Adam Simmons features not only on layered woodwinds ("Gossamer wings") but also Shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) on the mystic-east epic "Sands of time", a track which takes the novel step of combining violin with slide guitar. With Bruce Hayme's keyboards, Steve Hadley's double bass, Bruce Sandell and Craig Pilkington's flute and trumpet and Tony Floyd and Peter Jones's drums are added Tony's multiple guitars, the ensembles ranging from epic to intimate.
Tony Faehse is best known for his guitar-playing and song-writing with Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons ("Shape I'm In", "Hit & Run" etc) but his career started in Adelaide. Early tuition on the classical guitar led to an interest in samba (Tom Jobin) and Spanish music before being seduced by rock and blues and the electric guitar. After some chart success with pop group Music Express a move to London for four years included a year touring Europe with glam-rocker Alvin Stardust. Returning to join the Falcons for five years he then worked as freelance guitarist and song writer. As well as producing his own music he and his wife Wendy have the 20th century design shop Retro Active.
