Unfairly described by critics as “a uniquely un-commercial blend of folk, protest, contemplation and despair”Bob’s originals collectiondemands attention and sometimes actually gets it.
Sidecar Bob currently has the following original albums available on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and all spectacularly good outlets.

For Jill –a song about my good lady wife.
The Crows Know –about crows (intelligent birds!) looking down and wondering what we are all rushing about for.
It’s All a Dream – about everything being a dream (and we’ll wake up soon!).

Oh Yes! –a rare positive summery reggae vibe.

Thirty-Three – about a 7 year-old boy being told by his mother that he was going to die at 33.
The Pot Noodle Song – an homage to Pot Noodles (mentions all the flavours at the time of writing).
Purgatory – about a woman who is visited by the ghost of her abusive husband, who asks her forgiveness to release him from Purgatory. She forgives him as, because she killed him, she didn’t want to meet him when she arrives in Purgatory.
Esco Pablaban – named by my wife mispronouncing Pablo Escobar, Esco is a benevolent drugs dealer, who makes sure that childrens’ medicines supply gets through.
Sleep Like a Baby – a song about extremely rich countries/people not helping poor countries/people (and not losing a moments sleep).

Nobody’s Disputin’ Rasputin or Putin – about the obvious fact that the US/Russia war was provoked by ridiculously aggresive NATO expansion.
Net Zero – about the obvious scam that is “net zero”.
In the Evening When the Light is Low – about a man who has died and is looking down on the love of his life just going about her daily business (sounds stalky but intended to be affectionate!).
Bratislava! – about the capital of Slovakia, a place that I have never visited but sounds lovely. Hopefully will be the future national anthem of Slovakia.
COVIDEO TAPES
A heartfelt, personal album about what I consider to be the greatest crime against humanity (lockdowns and vaccines). Recorded for people who were ignored at the time and who perhaps still feel isolated.
Jab and Go – about the idiot that is the CEO of RyanAir, who coined this slogan at the time (saying that only vaccinated people may fly on his airline). I’d rather walk than ever use them again.
No Doubt – about doubting everything but the love for my wife.
The Emperor is Stark-Bollock Naked – compares the obviousness of the injustices during the pandemic to the Emperor’s New Clothes story (everybody’s saying it, so it must be true…).

It’s a Scam! – a simple scam test that can certainly be successfully applied to the plandemic/”medicines”, etc.

Good Luck – about a feeling of opting out of society and wishing the rest of you well.
FUN WITH LOOSE SKIN
