about

This album is a completely one sided, very personal look at a love story. The characters are a 27 years old "Southern Man" and a 17 years old "Teutonic Beauty".
A trappy ending would have killed this album (and saved me a lot of money) but thanks to a tragic end and the support of friends, here it is. Thanks for your time, pain, work, friendship and money.
Some of the songs were recorded in Switzerland together with Ömer Sipahi. The master tape used there didn't work out so well with the machines at FDT Studios. So, sorry if some songs are a bit unclear. We also much preferred a live atmosphere to 100% perfection. All tracks recorded betwwen December 1980 and September 1981 in Geneva and Bremen.

Oktay Kocamaz started playing music in 1965 by playing guitar, he also playedharmonica and banjo.
He studied in Germany in the late 1970s.
He took part in some television programs with his group in Germany.
Released 2 Long Plays and 3 CDs and is still actively involved in music.
All songs written by Oktay Kocamaz. The first experience of Turkish Blues tunes with English lyrics. The tracks are great, not even a boring minute on the both albums.

Produced by Oktay Kocamaz, 1981.
