Scottish singer/songwriter Roddy Hart, has toured and played shows in America, Japan and Europe, opening for artists such as Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, Ray LaMontagne, Rosanne Cash and the Trashcan Sinatras.

His debut studio album ‘Bookmarks’ features a few members of the Trashcans, notably Frank on backing vocals, Paul on guitar and Stephen on drums.

It’s an impressive album which also features Kris Kristofferson and Eddi Reader on a couple of tracks. If you like Ryan Adams, The Wallflowers, Bright Eyes and the like, then you should buy this album – it won’t disappoint.

‘Hayfever’. 4-track CD single backed with ‘Say’, ‘Kangaroo Court’ and ‘Skin Diving’.

This German release, as you can see, came in a standard jewel case, rather than the digi-pak.

‘To Sir, With Love’. 4-track CD single backed with ‘Claw’, ‘A Boy And A Girl’ and ‘You Only Live Twice’.

Not one, but two cover versions on this release.

When you look back at the cover versions the Trashcans have done – they could probably release an album.

‘How Can I Apply…?’. 4-track CD single backed with ‘Save Me’, ‘A Worm With A Head’ and ‘Little Things That Keep Us Together’.

Scott Walker wrote ‘Little Things…’, and here the Trashcans give it a right good t(h)rashing. All excellent stuff.

‘The Main Attraction’ single. 4-track CD backed with ‘Stainless Stephen’, ‘Charlie’s Atlas’ and ‘Jane’s Estranged’.

The cover has the words “Engaged” instead of “Vacant”, which was on the 7-inch single cover, but you’ll know that, won’t you?
