This self penned album North West Mail speaks for itself musically.
To sum up this album
it would be fair to say it was inspired as a retrospective and
it encapsulates the long and varied life of this Music Icon.
The North West Mail
album was written in an amazingly short time, perhaps giving
some indication as to how much it came from the heart.
The songs all have
a very personal reason for their being..they individually relate
to many facets of Lonnie Lee's early years..the inspirations,
the sadness, the isolation in the country as well as the incredible
excitement of being one of the very first to bring this brand
new and innovative music to Aussie teenagers.
Lonnie has retained
that honest simplistic feel, yet the melodies are catchy, happy
and light. Much as they were back then.
The songs will no doubt take
you, the listener either back to those heady days, or it will
introduce a younger fan to relive and vicariously get the feeling
of..’back then’.
We know you will enjoy this album,
some 51 years
after the 16 year old young man first came onto the music scene.
