Brian Heywood

Fool's Gold

This is an upbeat song that takes a happy look at moving away from a bad place.

We've had this one on the backburner for a little while now as my life went through some major changes - and of course we had the pandemic lockdown.

Now this sounds like the song might be a bit of downer, but it occured to Brian when he wrote it, that if you look forward, rather than backwards, you can head for a much happier situation.

Musically it is a blend of happy country rock and pop, with a catchy vocal hook and a driving beat that will get you tapping your feet in no time.

It also features the amazing backing vocals of Dawn Moore, who is Brian's partner in the Heywood & Moore band.

So, apart from Dawn - and Mike the drummer - everything else is Brian - his voice, acoustic guitar and bass guitar playing are on full display in this track, including some cute Nashville guitar.

The response from reviewers and the music industry has been fantastic with phrases such as "awesome track" and "...a happy, feel-good tune that goes a long way unscrewing a screwed up world.".
