The latest studio album from Sam,
Ez and Ju with Paul Adshead is
another masterpiece. Progressing
naturally from their previous
release 'A Dark Storm', 'Sense Of
Purpose' uses even more instruments
including banjulele, balalaika,
fiddle and washboard. The album has
a great mixture of rock, pop,
country, folk, soul, gospel and
bluegrass influences, and as always
Detours' songs are highly melodic,
and their lyrics very thoughtful,
touching on life's many experiences,
moods, feelings, topics and
situations.
Includes the album versions of
'Sense Of Purpose' with Kristyna
Myles, and 'Come Back' with Morgan.
As usual all are standout tracks,
but other possible singles are 'Be
Myself (Alone With You)', 'I Can't
Help Myself Tonight' and 'Betrayed'.

Way' both featuring Morgan. All four

Detours' second studio album
developed their recorded sound
dramatically from the raw, stripped
down acoustic sound to a much fuller
rock band sound with the inclusion
of drums, bass, piano, steel and
occasional electric guitars.
However, the acoustic feel is still
very much present. All killer, no
filler, with all tracks standouts.
Includes fan favourites 'Never Felt
This Way', 'Half The World', 'Memory
Lane', 'Took Words Outta My Mouth',
'Behind Closed Doors', and Ezza's
touching lullaby for his daughter
'One More Time'. Now remixed and
remastered.

Detours is effectively an acoustic
spin off from the Saddleworth rock
band Diversion Ends, and this first
Detours album is an acoustic tribute
to them including 7 of their songs,
with 5 originals from Ez Jon Erikson
and Julian Flindle. It was recorded
as an acoustic demo album whilst
Detours began rehearsals for a
Saddleworth Festival Of The Arts
theatre concert in 2003, and they
decided to release it "as is". The
skeletal arrangements certainly
capture the immediacy and energy of
their live shows, and Sam Johnson's
voice is on top form. Fan favourites
include 'Doesn't Matter Much To Me',
'Stay With Me Tonight', 'General's
War', 'Want To Be The One', 'Fear Of
The World' and 'Best Thing'.

Detours third studio album is a ten
song masterpiece, from the opening
ode to wanna be rock stars
'Together' right through to the epic
closing 12 minute title track.
Drawing on their rock, folk, blues
and country influences, Detours'
sound has never been more developed,
yet never losing touch with their
acoustic roots, bringing in a whole
range of instruments including
saxophone, dobro, accordion and
didgeridoo. Also includes 'For Your
Love', 'Games', 'Reality', and
'Everybody'.

It seems that not many artists these
days can create original Christmas
songs, but here we have 3 wonderful
originals. From the irresistibly
humorous title track opener
'Snowballed', through the infectious
rock pop number 'Fun In The Snow',
to the melancholic 'Snow On The
Mountains', which includes a moving
trumpet solo from Sam Johnson that
is highly likely to give you goose
pimples, this collection is an
absolute must for the festive
season! The CD also includes an
acoustic mix of 'Snowballed' and an
alternate acoustic studio
performance of 'Someday'. All 5
tracks are exclusive to this
release.
