More Info:

2010 two CD release from the British singer/songwriter/producer which pairs his 2008 album a Songwriter's Tale with a second album, the Orinocco Kid. Mike Batt enjoyed his early success through the medium of television advertisement jingles. But the man who famously had eight hit singles and four gold albums with the Wombles also had a UK hit under his own name with 'Summertime City, which reached #4 in 1975. His subsequent album forays failed to win mass appeal, although his fan base has drooled over every subsequent release. Dramatico.
