The project is the brainchild of producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tully McCully.  Though there will be some original songs recorded, the focus this time is on his arrangements of well known folk music and acoustic hits.

His first batch are nostalgic and gentle folk songs that hark back to the acoustic era of the 1960s. Jasper's Acolytes places sharp focus on melodies, harmonies and acoustic instruments. Both instrumentation and production are kept minimal and all recordings are done with authentic analogue sound and feel. 

Debut album (an EP of seven songs) 'Memory Lane' "encapsulates and recaptures the simpler sounds of simpler times”, says Tully.  The album is a collection of faithful covers of nostalgic classics like debut single 'The Green Leaves of Summer' as well as the haunting original composition and second single 'Water Through Our Hands'. 

The recordings were all done on McCully's 16-track analog recording equipment installed at his home studio. Recordings done to tape give a warm acoustic sound.

Memory Lane will be available on all digital platforms on 11 November 2022.

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s.  Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards. Visual for the new release featuring Lesley from the time of her debut releases .   Since then Lesley has released about a dozen albums mostly in her home country but she also has releases in Australia and the Benelux.
