A couple of years ago CW and band visited Lewis Durham’s (of Kitty, Daisy and Lewis) home studio in Kentish Town, London to cut a couple of tracks, one for a Mojo magazine Beatles covermount.

Those recordings are now finally available to own on lovely 7″ and 78 RPM 10″  on Lewis’ own Evangelist Records. You can purchase your copy direct from the source HERE , and avoid those over-inflated prices that we’ve spotted on Ebay.

Between spells recording the follow-up to Jungle Blues, CW and band will be making just a handful of public appearance this summer. The live page is where you need to go for info, and be sure to stay tuned for more news…

Due to a mix-up at the bottling factory our web monkey had listed the shows incorrectly for today and tomorrow in beautiful Italy.  The correct dates/cities/venues are:

More Jungle Blues album reviews have been popping up. Here‘s a rather good one from the Flyinshoes Review website.

“If you want your mind lifting out of its usual ruts, then C.W.’s the man for you. It’s mad, but lovably mad.”

“gonna scare all the chickens out of the yard with this electric guitar”

Yes, C.W. has joined the Twitter community. Follow him here.

And whilst you’re over there, why not also follow King Hokum, C.W.’s record label, for the latest C.W. news updates.

Did you catch CW’s rather excellent session with Mark Lamarr? No? Must be that you were watching him over on Jools Holland on BBC2 instead. Well you can listen again, for the next seven days, just click on the link below.

Jungle Blues is a big office favourite at the moment. Made by CW Stoneking, an Australian-American who seems to channel the music of great American primitives like Jimmie Rodgers and Blind Blake to weave complex, funny stories of encounters with lions and periods spent in clink. He’s playing up and down the country for the next couple of weeks and, if you like this kind of thing at all, you’re strongly advised to see him. He’s at Brixton Windmill tonight (Friday). You can find details of his other shows and links to buy tickets on My Space. Straight off the plane he popped in the office to play and talk to Mark Ellen, David Hepworth and Fraser Lewry… read in full
