The NEW album... OUT NOW!

                      The Difficult Second Album
   So, once again The Optimum Civilised Unit beckoned, like an alluring Bali Hai, to the intrepid trio from The Gentleman Callers Institute. After the runaway success of their first debut album and now having to deal with three newly rampant egos, the Gents reconvened for more of the same.
 Re-working some of their favourite songs from the 60's and beyond, plus a couple of premium quality originals. Having been quietly informed by Messes. Fagen and Becker that they not "interpret" any more of Steely Dan's songs, they visit The Beatles' 'Revolver' album via The Zoot, for their take on 'Eleanor Rigby'. Of course, The Hollies' 'Bus Stop' was always meant to be a rhumba. 
 Burt and Hal are again represented by an irreverent look at an old Tom Jones gem (waltz time, schmaltz time!). There's even a Gershwin classic from the musical 'Porgy and Bess', written by George and his lovely wife, Ira. Tony's version of Chris Rea's 'Josephine' is dragged from the disco and given a tender treatment. Peter gives a masterclass in balladeering on 'Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow' and Brett swings out no matter what the time of day.
 In a break from the past, they enlist some highly esteemed help this time out. Accordian maestro Barry Ferrier adds a touch of Balkan-reggae to 'Boabland'. Harmonica virtuoso Christian Marsh brings wit and sophistication to 'Our day will Come'. While banjoist extraordinaire Ignatz Ratsky-Watsky assaults the strings on 'I Got Plenty Of Nuttin'.  So Lo and Behold!
                The Gentlemen looked down on all they had done... And it was good.
