Penny Davies & Roger Ilott BIG WATER
	Three years in the making, BIG WATER is a new album from Penny Davies & Roger Ilott. BIG WATER is certain to enchant fans with 14 thoughtful & musical tracks. BIG WATERS starts with one of Roger's compositions, Turn The World Around– a persuasive plea for change – & ends with the Pete Seeger classic Turn! Turn! Turn!' The songs range from the poignant story of an orchardist forced to bulldoze his trees (Pushing It Down), to the nostalgic memoir of Rusty Dusty Days, a reference to the band in which Roger & bass player on BIG WATER, Jed Hudson, almost made the big time. Jed's return, along with Roger & Penny's son Jordy on drums, Dobro, slide guitar & back-up vocals, marks a creative change from previous albums.
