"The thing I love most about playing solo is finding
I could
talk to an audience rather than just saying 'This
is' and 'That
was' and 'Thank you very much,' which was probably
about
the extent of my communication before then,"
Tilbrook says.
"It's great, if you're in a band and you're powering
through a
set, that's sometimes all that you need, but I love
talking to
people in this new kind of environment."
During spare moments, Tilbrook began to lay the
groundwork
for solo album number two. And as the title
suggests, it came
together on both sides of the pond. "The recording
was done
in short bursts," he says. "The Nashville stuff was
done in
August, and the rest of the stuff I did in England
in February.
And then I took it back to my studio, and worked on
it in
Austin and New Orleans. I worked on it all over the
place. I
worked on it in my RV, in a field, in the middle of
nowhere!"

Greetings!
"I'm not reinventing the wheel / I just like the way
it makes
me feel," Glenn Tilbrook sings on his latest release
Transatlantic Ping Pong.
When the wheel in question is the perfect
three-and-a-half
minute pop song, Tilbrook is a certified patent
holder and
member of that elite group that includes such
tunesmiths as
Lennon & McCartney, Ray Davies and Elvis Costello.
As one
half of the songwriting ampersand behind the beloved
band
Squeeze and now a successful solo artist, Tilbrook has
perfected a signature style marked by brilliant melodic
invention, cheeky humor and slice-of-life pathos,
all wrapped
up with unshakable hooks and his golden boy tenor. From
chestnuts like "Up the Junction" and "Pulling
Mussels (From
the Shell)" through stunning new tracks
"Untouchable" and
"Ray and Me," he has amassed a veritable Sears
Catalog of
memorable songs.
