Following their successful digital re-release of my critically-acclaimed 2009 “Edge Of The Dark” CD, Cherry Red Records asked if there were “any more unreleased gems” hidden away in the vault?Their wish being my command, I did some research and am delighted to confirm we now have “Deep In The Dark – Unreleased Rarities 1971-1991”, a sequel to EOTD that mines yet more archive treasures from those “lost” years.
“Deep In The Dark” is a twenty-track compilation consisting of mostly full-band arrangements. For this, my seventeenth release though Cherry Red, we’re featuring not only my ever-present 1968 Harmony 12-string guitar but acoustic and electric guitars, bass, synths, piano, percussion and a host of other instruments.
Musically, there’s the folk influence (of course!) but also rock, blues, baroque; even a little pop creeps in…
I think people familiar with my work are going to find quite a few surprises here!

As with all my Cherry Red releases, “Deep In The Dark – Unreleased Rarities 1971-1991” is available for streaming, and for purchase from download sites around the world (including of course iTunes and the Amazons).
It’s been a labour of love pulling this album together, and I really hope you enjoy it!

To accompany the new release, Cherry Red have issued the festive “Joseph & Amanda” as the official video to complement “Deep In The Dark”.
I mean, doesn’t everybody love a Christmas song?

This is what reviewers said of Beau’s original "Edge Of The Dark" collection…
“This disc is intended to make more folks aware of Beau and his music. It certainly turned our heads around. Damn, this guy is good.”
Babysue.com (USA)“A potent talent too long neglected, Beau may now finally get his due…”
Allmusic.com (USA)“…a masterful guitarist on the twelve string, a subtly nuanced singer and a strong songsmith … A valuable rediscovery!”
Good Times Magazine (Germany)
