Across
the Miles
- the new Trevor Knight CD
Across the Miles sees the return to
the country music scene of spellbinding
storyteller, singer and songwriter Trevor Knight. Music
is Trevor's life
and when he sings he conveys this love to his audience.
Trevor
is a two-time Golden Guitar winner and has received nine nominations.
He has played
extensively overseas and is a top rated entertainer for P&O
Cruises. Trevor has worked with
Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Paxton, Neil Sedaka, Pam Ayres, Foster
& Allen, John Denver and many
others. He is also well known for The Spirit of the Eagle
show, which showcases the music of
John Denver.
Across
the Miles contains twelve beautiful songs mostly written by
Trevor and Allan
Caswell, one of Australia's finest songwriters. As Trevor
says: "I've known
Allan since the late 70's and worked with him in the 80's
when we were
nominated for a Golden Guitar for Spirit of the Green and
Gold. I've always
loved his work and we now make a great song writing team."
Allan
goes on to say: "Trevor and I have performed and recorded
together for
years but when he asked me to work with him on this album,
things really
clicked. Trevor writes wonderful tunes and has a faultless
sense of
arrangement. I'm proud of the songs on Across the Miles and
working with
Trevor (and Al Craig from Black Inc Studios) proved to be
one of the most
rewarding creative experiences of my career".
