Aim
To fund the recording and releasing of 2 solo albums, one by Michael Weston King, one by Lou Dalgleish. Recording in 2025, released in 2026
TWO NEW ALBUMS: After 14 years of musical collaboration, and releasing 5 albums under the band name of My Darling Clementine, 2026 will see us reverting back to our solo careers, with the writing, recording and releasing of 2 individual albums.
Having experienced such a huge personal loss last summer we feel the best way for us to express our thoughts and feelings is apart, rather than together. To focus solely on the subject matter at hand no matter how deeply personal it will be.
The recording of Michael's album is already underway and here is a brief preview and background to it, including a taste of one of the new songs; https://americana-uk.com/michael-weston-king-la-bamba-in-the-rain-all-the-kings-horses-and-all-the-kings-men
Lou's album is still at the writing stage but with 11 songs already written recording will begin as soon as affordable.
LIVE SHOW: We will still be touring together but the My Darling Clementine live show will be a little different next year. It will comprise 2 sets. One will be a trip through the MDC back catalogue , and the other will feature selections from our solo past, and present, with the main focus on these new songs, on these new albums.
NEW LABEL: We are also releasing these albums on our own, new label. So as well as recording costs we also have the manufacturing, promotion and distribution costs to cover too.
