Angel
in Deep Water features the fabulous
fiddle of Roger Wilson (of The House Band) and contributions from
guitarists Dave Rodgers, Dan Britton and Derek Roberts, who also produced
the album.
This
was an album simply waiting to get out, and was recorded in very few
takes with only a couple of backing overdubs (mostly because Owen
can’t play the whistle and sing at the same time).
Every
now and then, Owen ventures away from his trademark sensitivity and
lets loose with his sense of humour. Angel in Deep Water features
two such songs: Hang It (what the characters in nursery rhymes
would do if they were unemployed); and Bad Day in Bedrock (the
blues as Fred Flintstone would have written them).
