about

A word about the songs...

This is my 4th volume of cover versions, after Songs of Love & Chains (a double album) in 2008, and Sun, Sorrow, Flowers, Moon in 2014. I have also recorded over 30 albums of my own songs since 1987.
This album is quite diverse, and what brings it together is simply that I love the songs, whether they be apocalyptic ‘tough cookies’ like Dylan’s ‘All along the watch-tower’ & Springsteen’s ‘Magic’, or gentle Scottish folk-songs like ‘Blow the wind southerly’.

Somehow Louis Armstrong can meet Leonard Cohen here, whilst the controversial and defamed R. Kelly & Phil Spector (who wrote ‘To know her is to love her’), can meet and mingle with the original boy-next-door Buddy Holly. here The likes of Ed Sheeran & Hungary’s Misztrál are writing today, whilst Buddy Holly wrote over 60 years ago, and the Hungarian folk-songs I’ve included may be 200 or more years old!

The other thing that unites this collection is that they are all love-songs or loving-songs, either personal, spiritual or humanitarian, and in my imagination and aspiration I try to take them higher, so that they become symbols of the finest morality. Whether they describe longing, broken-heartedness, innocent purity or wry acceptance, I try to paint my interpretations in the colours of faith, hope and love.

ASHA (aka ASHA ELIJAH & ASHER QUINN) UK

I'm a singer-songwriter and composer, and many of my tracks are mystically themed. I write and sing love-ballads, and compose piano and instrumental pieces too, sometimes classical and sometimes ambient. Over the years I have sold more than half a million albums world-wide, first for New World Music and now for my own company, Singing Stone Music.
