From the fiery boogie opener ‘Any Second Now’, through to the dark acoustic closing of ‘Old Wounds’, Cut and Run takes the listener on a trip from honest acoustic ballads to searing Blues Rock and captures Spiegel at his best as a vocalist and guitarist while providing some of his best lyrical work to date. The new album, along with This Time Tomorrow (2017) and last year’s Backroads concludes a trilogy of albums and represents the fruits of an intensely creative time for the Melbourne-based bluesman.
Says Spiegel, “the last three years I’ve written one album while touring the previous so it’s a natural progression that each group of songs is a response to the last. Cut and Run has a positivity and clarity in it that for me, resolves a great deal of the questions I asked myself on the last two albums. It’s definitely the end of a chapter for me both musically and personally.”
Groovy lead track ‘Track Her Down’ has already received extensive airplay on ABC, Double J and community stations nationally, hitting number 2 on the AMRAP regional chart and set up a buzz for the new album’s arrival. The Cut and Run Tour starts in Canada in September and hits Australia mid-October with shows from the Sunny Coast round to Adelaide and across to Western Australia, with Tasmanian dates slated for early next year.
