Man From Leith is going home
Well we've just finished mixing the final track on the album "Man from Leith".
I can't believe we've finished. It all sounds great.
It's been a pretty intense couple of weeks out here in Tennessee. A time I'll never forget. Some really special memories.
I can't wait to get this record out.
Just time to get my bags packed and run to the airport.
This man from leith is heading home!

greetings from sunny California,Tennessee!
Greetings from sunny Tennessee.
Lovely day here.
We're now mixing the record.
13 songs to mix. Lij is currently mixing "Miss You California" which has some cool 12 string by Will Kimbrough and sweet pedal steel from Al Perkins. I feel rather lucky to have these guys playing on one of my songs.
Not long now until I head home to the land of grey skies. Looking forward to having a good pint of beer in The Diggers and watching a re-run of Hearts' 4-0 victory over the Hibees! Sorry to any Hibees. Don't mean to gloat. Just hate to think what the score might have been if we'd played with our supposed advantage at Murryfield!! Ha, only kidding. Enough football already.
Remember I'm playing a solo show in Peebles in the Scottish Borders next month. Check out the website.
That's all for now. Have to get back to "California!
Cheers.
Dean

ice storm
Hi again from stormy Tennessee.
Out here at the studio sitting in the control room listening to Kev and Thad Cockrell doing harmonies on one of my new songs - Adrift. Sounds great.
We've just had another Tornado out this way. Missed us so far! Had a big ice storm though. Hail stones the size of golf balls!!Scary.
I can't believe how well this recording is going. All the various musicians have been amazing and the studio is fab.
Gotta go now and do some more work.
Dean.

Dean Owens
"Dean Owens is a genuine one-off... His words are direct, unswerving and deeply personal; his lyrical clarity refreshing. Narratives are both deeply autobiographical and evocative third person - all of which work equally well... Owens has moved beyond the formula of Americana and into the wide world, which is often joyful, sometimes sad, but rarely dull. A triumph.” – Mark Robertson, List Magazine
"Dean Owens is perhaps the most engaging singer-songwriter in Scotland today.” – Irvine Welsh, NY Times
"In my sexy opinion young Dean is the Johnny Cash of Scotland so we should treat him with respect. Normal Johnny was quite hard. Imagine if he had been from Scotland, he'd've been a menace. For gods sake buy this record before he re-offends” – Russell Brand (BBC Radio 2)
"Dean Owens has soul” – Eddi Reader
"Dean's music is full of soul and tells stories that need telling, sung in a voice that keeps drawing you back in” – Will Kimbrough
