Description
Firm favourites of Rod and mine….both TRACY McNEIL and DAN PARSONS have forged incredibly amazing solo careers over many years and graced our lovely BD stage several times in various configurations. With several outstanding releases between them…now as the formidable duo ‘MINOR GOLD’…a match truly “made in heaven”….their shared love of music, great songwriting, and sublime vocal harmonies will make your heart ‘sing’!!
Having shared hundreds of stages together for the better part of a decade as respective songwriters and performers, ‘Minor Gold’ is the first official glimpse of this new bonafide songwriting team.
Living in a van in 2020, Parsons and McNeil hightailed it out of Victoria and up to Queensland in two days, just in time to avoid being trapped for the Winter as the first lockdown occurred. Subsequently, the duo wrote the majority of what would become their self-titled debut album, whilst holed up in the land of palm trees and perfect weather.
Their sound is replete with masterful harmonies, deft guitar playing with dynamics ranging from the intense restraint of campfire intimacy through to open throttle abandon. We hear the hedonistic groove of early 70’s cosmic Americana, the daydream haze of 60’s folk, and the power and romance of 80’s pop but despite the classic references of yore, it’s undeniably music written for the here and now.
