I really like country rock – its upbeat, feel-good factor – what’s not to like? Unfortunately, it wasn’t right for the ‘Echoes Of Our Times’ album, which had a clear theme, but it deserves to be out there, so it’s great to be releasing it now. “I was laying on the sofa in my friend John’s studio, and he was playing tracks to us – and this one caught my attention. ‘Wild At Heart’ follows on from Shakin’ Stevens’ gospel song, ‘I Need You Now’.
