All around me On Spirit Ridge Where I found me Where my heart is I can hear my mother Her voice in the wind See my father Wandering Chorus My beloved hills They comfort me My beloved hills Will always be In my blood In my gut When I leave this place My heart will not Chorus My beloved hills They call to me My beloved hills Where you’ll find me Closer to the sun In its golden glow Free the spirit And let it go Chorus My beloved hills They comfort me My beloved hills Will always be

about

The first in a series of 3 EPs (The Ridge Trilogy) - released July, Sep and Nov - is a taster for the album Spirit Ridge (which is released Feb 2025).

Vol 1, Ghost Walking has 2 Radio Edit versions of tracks from the album, an instrumental recorded at the album sessions (that didn't fit on the final album) and the last is the original acoustic demo that Dean made of before going out to record in Italy.

Spirit Ridge is Dean's 12th album, and the official follow up to Sinner's Shrine. It was recorded in Crinale Studio - a 400 year old farmhouse in the Emilia Romagna area of north Italy with producer Don Antonio (who also produced Alejandro Escovedo's recent Echo Dancing album, which was also recorded at Crinale).

Dean was introduced to Don Antonio by mutual friend John Convertino (Calexico) who plays on a couple of tracks on the album.

Fun fact - Dean's great great grandfather Ambrose Salvona - a lion tamer with a travelling circus - originally came from the same area.
