About the artist:
Francis Dunnery jumped to prominence in 1984 as fronting the British progressive-rock group It Bites, a collaboration that spanned seven years and included three LPs and several hits on the British charts. He issued his first solo album Welcome to the Wild Country in 1991. During this period he also contributed to projects by former Yes-men Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, and lent his considerable guitar skills to former Zeppelin crooner Robert Plant on his Fate of Nations tour. Dunnery’s breakout effort for Atlantic Records, Fearless , followed in 1993 with the hits “American Life in the Summertime” and “Homegrown.” 1995 saw the release of Tall Blonde Helicopter with the hit “Too Much Saturn,” marking a significant change in musical direction when compared to its slickly produced predecessor. Unplugged, semi-acoustic and very much in the singer/songwriter tradition, Tall Blonde Helicopter was music straight from the heart, laying the foundation for much of Dunnery’s subsequent work. Over the years, Francis has released over a dozen albums and collaborated with such luminaries as Lauryn Hill, Elton John, Carlos Santana and David Sancious.
