Chester Kamen Of David Gilmour & Roger Waters Fame Debuts New Single “Don’t Jump Off The Roof Dad”
Don't Jump Off The Roof Dad. By Chester Kamen
Chester Kamen, Former lead guitarist with Roger Waters band and last seen playing With David Gilmour on the 2016 Rattle That Lock tour has been busy writing and working on his forthcoming album,
Last Year, we have seen the release of “Stories” and “The Wife Of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold” which are both featured on the “Take This “ album which is currently in progress.
Now in February 2022 we have “Don’t Jump Off The Roof Dad“
As Chester says briefly “This is a rewrite of an old old sixties hit for Tommy Cooper(lyric by Cy Coben) It’s really an excuse for singing in the shower. Drums are by Steve Monti(Curve, Jesus and Mary Chain, Sulphur) the rest by myself. I used some graphics by my late brother Barry plus all sorts of found / nicked footage. My cats, as usual, make it onto the final cut, but they didn’t get paid. There’s a nod to “Money” in there with the vibrato guitar which you’ll no doubt notice.“

A Fleeting Glimpse Competition : Win A Signed Copy Of John Clark & Harry Waters ‘Sea Oddity’ Album
Last month we announced the release of Harry Waters & John Clark’s ‘Sea Oddity‘ album.
Sea Oddity, a collaboration from artists John Clark and Harry Waters (the latter being the son of Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters).
The album’s dark mystique draws influence from psychedelic folk of the late ’60s and early ’70s, while also serving as a “concept album of sorts,” involving an alien invasion. The captivating opener “It’s Not My Story to Tell” combines psych-friendly guitar tones with gentle piano, casting a spacey and capricious appeal in leading to the dreamier rock yearning of “Weathered.” Following, “Missouri Air” is a great showcase of the act’s versatile songwriting, evolving from serene psych-folk into a soaring rock sound. “Of You I Dream” is another standout, haunting thoroughly with its trickling guitars and emotive vocal culmination just prior to the two-minute mark.
The album was produced by Freddy Para, who also performs on a guest musician on most tracks. Session work also comes from Eric Slick, Erik Ferguson, Johnnie David, Cali Moon Clark, and Nick Stanford.
