about

'A cross-dressing train driver who likes lipstick and high heels...glorious Brill Building-style chant, jazz drums and lustrous strings. Like a latter-day Carole King, Wolfe delivers each track with a high clear voice, observational humour and a quiet sense of drama... flowing arrangements build and drive each track, leading us through a world of broken love, memory and magic realism. Sweetly addictive.'
Lucy O'Brien * * * * MOJO

'That's Entertainment for the woke generation.'
Mike Adams, Travellers Tunes

'an ear for a subtle tune and a line in compelling storytelling...super-smart and keenly observant.' Nick Hutchings, Velvet Sheep

lyrics

Georgia Blue

5 o’clock on a Wednesday evening.
Snow’s been falling hard, it’s freezing.
On platform 12 they queue,
like the English do,
but the mood’s turned black
just like the snow
at the side of the track.
They want to know
the reason for the train’s delay
but no one leaves,
they’re too afraid
they’ll lose their place.
Finally, someone comes with the news:
the driver’s gone without a trace,
without a clue.

My name is Joseph
but I can’t be your driver today.
Gonna put on my best dress,
my highest heels,
take my time with the face.
Do you know how good it feels?
Gonna paint this grey town red,
gonna paint these grey skies red.

Today was more than I could bear,
the rush, the cold, the dirty air,
the forming of that endless queue,
like the English do.
Today I just needed to recall
what it’s like to feel beautiful.
What it feels like to light up a room,
to take some glamour from the gloom
and fill the night with Georgia Blue.

Then feel in her wake
a calm descend
as her flower fades
and the music ends.

My name is Joseph
but I can’t be your driver today.
Gonna put on my best dress,
my highest heels,
take my time with the face.
Do you know how good it feels?
Gonna paint this grey town red,
gonna paint these grey skies red.
