Dial 'W' For Watkins, 2004
Written by Geraint Watkins
This song is a western-tinged swing jazz in a throwback style, a winking music-hall song with a half-spoken intro that sets the tone: "When it's cold and damp in New York City / And all the girls don't look so pretty / And you can't find a job / And you're looking like a slob...." There's a little slide guitar, and Watkins' voice is smooth like a British, old-timey singing cowboy's. It's a fun song, with lightweight lyrics and a toe-tapping blend of styles.
