The debut from The Pistachio Kid, titled 'Sweet Remedies', features eight songs of incandescent beauty, presenting wonderfully warm and infectious melodies, elegant harmonies and combining these with a collage of musical styles and arrangements. The Pistachio Kid (a.k.a. Liverpool-based Charlie McKeon) is hailed by critics and audiences as an idiosyncratic, creative musician and songwriter invoking the early work of a.o. Randy Newman, Bert Jansch, Van Dyke Parks and The Sherman Brothers.
