SOCIAL FRETWORK (2012)
THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS
Derek and Nigel play more laid-back back porch favourites (and a couple of new originals that would end up on Kokomo's Bigger Than Brando album). Again recorded live at The Boatshed - even better than their first outing.
1. Boats To Build (G Clark) 2.Better Left Unspoken (D Jacombs) 3. If I Had A Boat (L Lovett) 4. South Sea Song (D Jacombs) 5. Indoor Fireworks (E Costello) 6. Joe The Bartender (D Jacombs) 7. Lodi (J C Fogerty) 8. Innocent When You Dream (T Waits) 9. Don’t Fence Me In (C Porter / R Fletcher) 10. Early Morning Rain (G Lightfoot) 11. Buckets of Rain (B Dylan) 12. If Not For You (B Dylan)
Derek Jacombs – voice, acoustic guitar, banjo
Nigel Masters – upright bass, backing voice
It seemed a long time since their last album so on one long lonesome Bay of Plenty night in 2011 The Self-Righteous Brothers sat under the full moon and sang their songs. Brian & Tracie de Jong were there to get it all on tape and this second dispatch from behind Kokomo lines contains their favourites from the roughly two dozen recorded that night.

ORIGINAL 2005 ALBUM NOTES FROM DEREK
Since 2003 Nigel and I have been playing on the odd Sunday afternoons at Mills Reef Winery in Tauranga. It’s a very pleasant way to pass a lazy day making music, accompanied by a bottle or two of fine wine. This album is a small record of many happy hours we’ve spent there, and was only really recorded because so many people asked us to do it.
Our choice of songs comes from sitting out on various back porches with musicians and other friends, playing old favourites on long summer nights. It’s been a real pleasure putting down our own particular take on music that has influenced and inspired us through the years.
The album was recorded over the course of one long and very enjoyable afternoon at The Boatshed. Brian and Tracie de Jong brought their computers, mics, etc over from Pongakawa – where they are in the process of setting up a digital recording facility (in the middle of a cow field!) - and recorded us, so all we had to do was play and have a few drinks.
And what a great afternoon it was! They have great gear, and Nigel and I trust their judgement, so we didn’t even stop to listen back to songs after we played them – if Tracie and Brian said they were OK, we just moved on and played another one. All up we recorded 20 songs, most of them first takes, all totally live. We cleaned it up a little bit but there were no overdubs at any point on this album.
