NEW ALBUM RELEASED TODAY!!! “Water, drought and flood, the cooling drink, the dangerous current. Water is inevitably at the heart of the Australian story, and Charles Jenkins dives right in with new album Too Much Water In The Boat, a collection of songs inspired by our oceans and rivers and our relationship to them, from the twanging surf rock of The Prime Minister Is Missing to the humorous tale of a crossdressing bushranger and deeply emotional contemplations of love, loss, the search for the inland sea and hopes of a new life dashed on the rocks. One of Australia’s finest songwriters just keeps getting better with the years.” Noel Mengel, The Courier-Mail. Brisbane “Surfing the crest of the zeitgeist, songwriter Charles Jenkins delivers yet another sparkling musical distillation of life as it’s lived on this planet. His deft rhymes unfurl over deep oceans of melody to form wave after wave of pure listening pleasure. Cross-dressing bushrangers, dancing emus, and love amidst a tsunami all play a part in Jenkins’ singular and undeniably catchy worldview. Take the plunge and luxuriate in these epic waters!” Peter Lubin – Producer/Writer, New York City “Weigh the anchor and clear the decks . . . Charles Jenkins & The Zhivagos Too Much Water... is a masterpiece. From the broiling breakers of The Prime Minister Is Missing, the calenture-crazed Ahab leading Willards crew in The Whale Song and the sunlit tree-top pop of 7 Creeks (The Crossdresser Steve Hart) to the ache and anger of The Barrel Song and Christmas Island, this is no three hour tour - this is the sound of a fearless crew on the voyage of a lifetime. Welcome aboard. Im calling it early - one of the albums of the year.” Pat Monaghan - Basement Discs, Melbourne You can get it right here folks. and at the Basement Discs in-store this Friday. Thanks for your time! charlesjenkins.au
