andy white - if you want it

andy white's new video is 'if you want it' from his latest album 'songwriter' and stars a dinosaur, a snail, and andy's drawing hand. click the button 'view in new window' if you want to see it how we see it (letterbox without the black bars at the sides)

following on from the scorsesian epic of 'no way out', in which we followed the travails of an intrepid tasmanian devil and his flight from captivity, comes this crichtonian struggle for survival as a lost world from prehistory comes into contact with another - more present - one.

'if you want it' was written with allson russell from po' girl, who shares lead vocals with andy, 'if you want it' is already a favourite of anyone who has heard the album 'songwriter'. it manages to combine a great groove and pulse with allison's beautiful singing, andy's cool accent, and better lyrics than you've heard since the late jurassic era.

and for all of those of you who wondered how andy did the drawings on his album sleeves - here's the answer. andy claims this video clip was the only way he could be sure that everyone got the words of the song - but then he didn't reckon on his 'artistic-yet-as-clear-as-a-doctor's' handwriting.

order a copy of the new album by email from the website and we'll send you some of the original artwork in the video - all you have to do is tell us at least one mistake andy makes in writing out the words!

Just back from Andy's gig tonight in Belfast. He played this great song, accompanied by his sister Cathy.

Great singer/songwriter.

Andy, I have been a fan for a long, long time, ever since, many years ago, I happened to catch a live performance of yours on BBC2 - the song you performed then was called "Birds of Passage" - still my favorite, but "Italian girls on mopeds" is a close second. Keep up the great work - your music is much appreciated. All the best...

Very nice, still magic.

[fatimida]

Great work, great Andy...
