RADIATOR FREE DOWNLOADS: Smooth Lenny - Black Cherry
Download Here
its hard to pin down exactly where Smooth Lenny's sound is here. It revels in oddball folk and all this bluesy jivin' liverpool swamp guitar rock in my ears these days. But Smooth Lenny's travels with George Martin prove to be no less important as the great methods of a gentle madman are at work in this piece of Lenny's work, salvaged incredibly from the tragic fire of his Estate in London that claimed many unheard masterpieces.

He played the guitar, bass, drums keyboards, french horn , harmonica, Harmonia, harp, clave, marimba and anything he could get his hands on.
Lenny had at least fourty albums. sadly, nearly half of them burnt in a fire. Some were restored, which are the ones his management team is releasing now. Yes, they are taken from charred acetates.
Lenny, as George Martin described "loved all of his music, but hated whatever he was working on at the moment" . George Martin was a key component in the later Lenny albums such as "Black Cherry" which will be released February 9th. He played a major role in keeping Lenny together.

He began to run around the room, yelling to himself, and dropping what seemed to be an endless amount of instruments from under his cape in different parts of the room... What I realize now is that he was trying to build the environment of the recording by determining where he would play the instruments..."
