About the Album

Wait for the Change is my fourth album release and is a mixture of original acoustic blues and contemporary folk. It includes one cover song, 'Moonshine', a country blues written by Memphis Minnie and a rearrangement/reworking of Leroy Carr's How Long Blues.
The title of the album comes from the opening track and is a comment on the need for patience and resilience, two traits that I had to draw deeply on to see this project through to the end. It took four years to complete due not only to the COVID pandemic that swept the world but also to hindrances from life in general. It’s with a sense of relief that I’m now releasing this collection of songs out into the world.

All songs written and arranged by Leigh Sloggett except 'Moonshine' written by Memphis Minnie and lyrics of 'How Long' by Leroy Carr.
