Lloyd Spiegel - Cut And Run

Cut And Run is the tenth album Australian blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Lloyd Spiegel, released in September 2019 via Only Blues Music.

Australian blues musician Lloyd Spiegel isn’t here to change the world, just make it a little more bearable. As Lloyd celebrates his 30th year on tour in 2019, he can’t recall a time before playing guitar. Picking up the instrument at age four, Lloyd played his first professional show at age ten and was touring the east coast of Australia at 12.

By 16 he was on tour in the United States, cutting his teeth as a true travelling blues man.

Lloyd’s travels not only honed his craft, earned him a swag of awards and brought him to take counsel with the founding fathers of modern blues - it taught him the most important part of being a blues musician: connecting with everyday people.

Lloyd has toured extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan, viewing himself as a social worker more than anything else – someone to help people forget about their worries for a few hours and put a smile on their face.

In 2019, Lloyd releases his tenth album Cut And Run, the final part of an unexpected trilogy about personal redemption Lloyd didn’t even realise he was writing until it was finished. Where previous albums Backroads (2018) and This Time Tomorrow (2017) had Lloyd asking questions and begging forgiveness for the sins of his past, on Cut and Run he has found the tenacity to face the next chapter of his life.

First taste of the album is lead single “Track Her Down”, a deep and soulful blues number about the fleeting, yet precious, nature of connections he makes with people on the road and the fragility of personal relationships for a travelling musician.

This album is on Compact Disc housed in a cardboard gatefold sleeve, pressed in Australia via Only Blues Music.

Note: there are currently no plans to release the album on vinyl.
