The CD is part 1 of a 2-part project that is intended to raise finance for surgical operations in a hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is firmly based in the blues musical genre and the title comes from the adage that “we all have to embrace some spiky things in life.”
Alex Varlow is joined by numerous friends and relatives in the production of this EP. The three main vocalists are Raylyn Varlow (Wollondilly Blues), Dan Briffa (The Prodigal Pt.1 and My God, my God!) and Alex Varlow (13th Street Blues). Of the 4 tracks on the EP, three of the tracks (2,3 & 4) were nominated for the finals of the 2013 “Australian Independent Music Awards” (in two categories) conducted by “Music Oz.” Track 3 “Wollondilly Blues,” reached the Semi-Finals of the 2008 “UK Songwriting Contest” in the Jazz & Blues category, and achieved an “Honorable Mention” in 2008 “Billboard World Song Contest” as well as reaching the 2013 Semi-Finals of the Tamworth Songwriters Association National Contest.
