Pony, Al Park’s long-awaited follow-up to 1999’s Human Thing is finally here. And boy has he been some places in the meantime. Mostly inside his own head, exploring past loves and excitedly lurching towards future endeavours.

You’ve heard California, the sunny centre of the musical umbrella that Pony is spread across, you’ve heard Running Away From A Broken Heart - the country ballad that reaches across to the far side of the umbrella, While the first track, Friend of Mine, takes you on a soaring journey on a warm bed of guitar feedback to the other side.

You’ll find everything else in between across the album's other 7 tracks, and it all manages to cruise Al’s long, rich history of songwriting while at the same time, cohesively

''It has a retro sound that covers my history in music-Tom Petty, Rolling Stones, Steve Earle, Bob Dylan -they're all lurking in the grooves of this album. If you grew up in the late 20th century then this is for you. If you're a 21st-century citizen then let me take you back in time''

Produced by Adam Hattaway & Elmore Jones, Pony is now available on all streaming platforms and compact disc.
