Andrew Roachford: New album and Tour!

"The Beautiful Moment" to come out in September

Andrew Roachford was enjoying a long career even before Mike Rutherford asked him to succeed Paul Carrack in the Mechanics. After he joined them he kept working on his solo career at the same time, releasing the EP Where I Stand and an album called Addictive. Now he has used the break in the Mechanics tour to record a new album. It is called The Beautiful Moment and is to come out on September 23, 2013. The music is marked by gospel influences, cajun moments and a good dosage of blues. The Beautiful Moment is a "quiet album" on which Andrew's voice really shines. A full review will follow. The album contains eleven tracks:

The Beautiful Moment 01 Real Again
02 Something Beautiful
03 Overcome
04 Because You
05 Without You
06 Love Wins
07 Wouldn't Change A Thing
08 Ebony
09 Slow Water
10 All Roads Lead Back
11 As She Walks

The first single, Something Beautiful, will be released digitally ahead of the album on August 30, 2013.

The album follows on September 20 and can be pre-ordered from: amazon-uk | amazon.com
