Music lovers worldwide may not know it, but they have enjoyed and delighted in keyboard player Geraint Watkins' R&B/jump style piano and Creole-flavored accordion for nearly 30 years. Watkins has toured and recorded with some of the legends of Rock 'n Roll, including Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler and Nick Lowe. His new solo collection, "Dial W for Watkins", will be his debut on fellow band-mate Lowe's label, Yep Roc Records. Despite a career that would make even the most road-weary rock veteran blush, Watkins is not content to rest on his laurels. "Dial W for Watkins" captures his finest solo recordings and plenty of collaborations with his mates, including Lowe. His ability to make the simplest musical statement into a sublime moment of entertainment still manages to baffle even his closest of friends. Whether at Rak Studios recording with others, or all alone, manipulating loops and samples "in the lab," the effect is strangely similar. It's 100% Watkins. From the mind of a true musician's musician, "Dial W for Watkins" is sure to be another proud feather in the cap of one of rock's finest. Digipak.
