Dean: "Inspired by something a friend of Don Antonio (my production partner in this project) said to me when I was talking to her about the possibility of Don Antonio joining us for dinner in Bologna on my first visit there. ‘Yes,’ she replied, ‘if he’s able to leave his beloved hills for one day’. When I finally got to see his beautiful hills around Crinale I understood why he might not want to leave them."
The video is a deep dive into Dean's dual influences and heritage with stunning scenes from the hills around Edinburgh cut into those of the Emilia-Romagna hills, and shots of the musical family at work and play at the 400 year old farmhouse that is the amazing Crinale Studio.

Still listening Dean! I play your stuff frequently down at the beach cabin. This song fits right in. My best to you my friend.
Love this ! Saw you in Scarborough a few weeks ago
Subscribed. 592. Hope you soon get to 1K and beyond.
🤞
Wow!
Wonderful ! Thank you for this lovely moment...😍🎶
Stunning scenery and of course means I can hopefully get it played on Sunday's show. Feels like a long wait till Feb 2025.
You get the first taster on 26 July, then another couple of EPs with tracks not on the album in Sep and Nov 😀 Thanks for the airplay
Holy hell how am I just now finding this!?! Love ❤
In Ian Rankin's novel, A Heart Full of Headstones, John Rebus listens to Dean's latest CD.
Rebus has great taste!!
@@DeanOwens It was by googling who you were I found you. If Ian Rankin loves your music that's praise indeed.
@@DeanOwens You are mentioned on page 289 of A Heart Full of Headstones published 2022. Ian must have been a fan for years.
I just had to find this and listen again after seeing you in Scarborough last night.I was absolutely blown away by your beautiful music.
Thank you!
00:26 Nicee!
Looking forward to welcoming Dean and the band to Scarborough Old Parcels Office on 24th May .
Absolutely I started working one day after my 15th birthday. Ma heed wis full of nonsense and music 😂
He was indeed Dean x
Love it - will give it a spin on Sunday's show
