Synopsis

Album Description
Recorded in one day in December 1992, released in 1993, unavailable since 1996, Dave Graney's breakthrough record into the Australian scene is now to be reissued on Cockaigne , and distributed through MGM. The original 12 tracks, as co produced by Dave Graney 'n' the Coral Snakes and super studio cat, Tony Cohen. Features the grinding groove of "You're Just Too Hip, Baby", the existential country blues of "Three Dead Passengers In A Stolen Second Hand Ford" and "You Need To Suffer" as well as the powerful lyrical alchemy worked in the "Night Of The Wolverine" itself and "Out There (In the Night Of Time)". This is one of the greatest and most timeless records ever released in Australia.

"" You saw my ship, my life was a storm, I felt you move with me along the shore" Dave Graney - Mogambo



Having listened to this album for over 13 years now, I feel I can confidently claim it as one of Australian music's all time classics alongside albums of the quality of The Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional, Paul Kelly's - Gossip, Crowded House's Woodface and the Oil's Diesel and Dust among others.

In song after song on this album Dave captures a perfect mood. Lyrically the album overflows with poetic reflections. He jumps into Jack Kerouac's head on Maggie Cassidy "before I tried to put the sea into words, I was meant for Maggie Cassidy" He looks back to his boyhood, reflecting on big brothers and sisters on 'That's the Way it's gonna Be" - "

I was born in a town that hugged the side,

of a mountain for dear life,

everybody my brothers and sisters we flew,

as quick as we thought we could..."

On other tracks he gets into a rocking groove. But the songs I love best are the piano tinkling, slower numbers like "I held the cool breeze", "Mogambo" and "Out there in the NIght of Time". The mood overall is late night with a glass of something in your hands sinking deep in a cosy chair among friends.

It's a terrific album by an artist with something to say and a beautiful way of saying it. I heartily recommend you check it out."
