Together with Young Man Songs (ASC ASCCD181/ASCLP003) here are nearly all the songs Kerry Lee Crabbe and Daryl Runswick wrote (and Daryl sang) which are good enough to be issued. The subject matter here is wider ranging than on Young Man Songs: love songs, but also family, heroes and antiheroes, zen, celebration, nostalgia, philosophy, life and death. Daryl Runswick writes: “I first set Kerry Lee Crabbe’s words to music in 1967; for the last time in 2010. Our most prolific period was 1970-1980 during which time we had considerable success as a songwriting team, though we didn’t have big hits. The pinnacle for us was when Cleo Laine recorded a whole album of our songs (One More Day: well worth looking out for on vinyl or CD). There are a number of reasons for our lack of hits: songwriting was for neither of us our main job – not ‘the principal source of his revenue’ as Paul Simon put it (One Trick Pony) – we did it in our spare time.
