The Dirt On Velvet album marks a brief resting place in a long and continuing journey. Decades of well-travelled roads meandering through the Australian blues scene have converged, and at this intersection, Rod Paine and The Fulltime Lovers have wound down the windows, eased off the throttle and listened to the world outside, and within. Side roads of country, dirt lanes of rock and ever-present thoroughfares of roots. From the depths of the Mulgrave Gentlemen’s Club (MGC), to the four walls of the Ivanhoe Bungalow, voices are having a say – creating sounds, sharing ideas and digging up long lost tunes.
Regularly, other profound moments come to the fore in these two fine establishments, tending to be preceded by red wine, cheese platters, good beer, emotional ups and downs and open hearts to whatever weight one may be carrying.
Longevity and brotherhood. They can’t be bought; they can’t be imagined. They can, however, create and be relied upon. The Fulltime Lovers have these qualities and are continuing the journey to where rough roads merge with smooth blacktop, like Dirt on Velvet.
Rod and the band have specifically chosen George Lane for the launch of their long-awaited CD, showcasing songs from the album with their customary panache. CDs will be available at a special reduced price on the night.
