Life is the root of music and art
Left Hand Georges is singer - songwriter and painter. Georges was born in Belgium. He was 13 years old when he played for the first time acoustic guitar. His heart was filled with music but he was also a rambler. Many years of his life he was on the road with his guitar and his parrot. He sailed many seas and he discovered Portugal a few years ago where he lives now in a small village in the mountains together with his paintings and his music.
He makes beautiful ballads who reminds to a poetical way of peace, love, understanding and loneliness. Not only in his paintings.
His first album 'In and out the country is released in 1997 T 2709 |
|
|
| Georges made this album together with his friend John Joris. For this album he was once again inspired by the greats in folk music, like Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Derroll Adams,... |
|
| His second Album?Range of colours 2810 is released in 2001 |
|
| Georges brings colours in his live but also trough all his songs. He wrote and recorded his songs together with his friend Yvon Steegmans and his son Ben,;Range Of Colours, his second release. It's a beautiful acoustic CD with 17 songs all penned by this Belgium trio. |
|
|
| Georges has got something great upon his sleeve with ?Range of colours?. This inspiration matured especially in Portugal where Left Hand Georges spends a large amount of his time. |
|
|
|
a song like Rocks and fishes is a direct reference to his stay there. |
|
|
|
This Album is very ambient and the general theme can be summarized in the opening song: just the sound of my feelings, its just the sound of my heart. |
|
|
| We hear amongst other deep feelings, a restless soul searching for a little bit of peace in his mind ?My mind needs a place to rest? |
|
|
| Left Hand Georges sings in poetical way against injustice and the abuse of power with texts like ?Close your eyes for guns and wars? and ?Hey prime minister, what did I do wrong? |
|
|
From anger he goes to loneliness ?every single night, I walk alone?.
And love couldn?t be absent on an album from vulnerable soul. ?Oh lovely paradise, so hard to catch, always so close and maybe not to keep?. |
|
|
| Finally the ode to his friend Derroll Adams sums it up and is very touching! ?Your eyes remember me that death is not the end?. |
|
|
|
;Georges doesn?t bring only colour in his paintings but also throughout his songs, witch he recorded with son Ben and good friend, fellow musician Yvon Steegmans. The threesome brings a special, cosy, peace of mind bringing sound disconcerted from every type of artificialness. It stands for sincerity and simplicity. |
|
|
| If you want to witness all these qualities, you better listen to it yourself which you can do by ordering this album. |
