About
"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - legendary bass player for John McLaughlin and Blind Boys of Alabama - about English producer Conil.
Tchad Blake, the renowned audio engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, echoed Thompson's sentiment, declaring, "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."
Conil's music reached great heights when Fleetwood Mac blues icon Peter Green paid a visit to his studio, driven by his admiration for Conil's music. The collaboration between Conil and the legendary guitar player resulted in a mesmerizing, mellow version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats, "Round Midnight."
As Strange Part of the Country continues to resonate with listeners around the world, it is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance and becoming an all-time favorite.
Upon its release, Strange Part of the Country made some waves in the UK. Q magazine, the country's best-selling music monthly, recognized its exceptional quality with a prestigious "Four stars - Q Recommends" rating, while Blues Matters magazine celebrated Conil as "one of the most original artists out there," giving him the front cover feature.
In the U.S., "Years Between" reached number three on the Alternative Radio Chart after receiving significant airplay on stations across the country.
Born in England, Conil's roots extend to France and Ireland as well, but his deep affection lies with the sounds of American music.
After leaving London, he embarked on a transformative journey, spending the past decade living in cities across the United States and Europe. His travels have taken him to New Orleans, New York City, Chicago, Austin, Berlin, and Athens.
Conil is currently working on his second album, a project that reunites him with Danny Thompson and Tchad Blake, along with Marc Ribot and several other world-class musicians.
