Parish Papers & Short Stories is a collection of past material, enhanced, tweaked, remixed or recorded. Not that any of it sounds remotely dated and it again serves to underline comparisons to the vintage days of Van the Man as well as shades of Sam Cooke and, on Hold On To The Light (a co-write with former fellow Soul Survivor sax player Paul Devonshire), I would also venture to suggest late 60s/early 70s Tom Jones.
