Mick Softley "Capitol" 1976













"Capital" is recorded in Germany, mastered in Holland and released in Swiss (Doll Records).
The album features only his voice and acoustic guitar. All are folky hobo songs except "The Anti-Gravity Device (folk/blues song)" & "Le Monde Des Amants (trad based song)".
Especially, his bitter sweet voices on "Transylvanian Highway" & "Sand" will permeates through your mind.
