about

Released in 2007 – The covers album.

Culled from recordings from 1995 - 2006, plus newly recored cover versions for the album, MWK pays homage to some of his favourite writers and artists, including Ronnie Lane, Phil Ochs, Scott Walker, Gamble and Huff, John Fogherty, Townes Van Zandt and many more.

CD format Includes extensive liner notes (also available to view here) detailing the reasons behind each song.

CD also comes with a stunning fold out poster - a montage of all the artists represented, by Michael’s son, the artist/poet Oliver James Lomax. This also available to view here.


"A collection of beautiful, off kilter material, all brought together by MWK’s elegant, subtle performances. Wonderful, in a way that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up."
- Maverick **** 4/5

"A beautifully packaged and lovingly annotated 15 track compilation of cover versions. An enjoyably diverse and thoughtful collection which pays unique tribute to a clutch of maverick talents who have all conspired to influence our hero along the way. It’s diverting stuff."
- Whisperin’ and Hollerin’ ********** 8/10

"What King does so well here is make a whole of disparate elements; it’s quite an achievement to make seamless transitions from ‘Alone Again Naturally’ to ‘Simple Twist Of Fate’ to ‘Love In Mind’."
- Bucketful of Brains

"What makes this work, apart from King ‘s taste, is that he’s as phenomenal as a performer, as he is as a songwriter."
- 3rd Coast Music, Texas **** 4/5
