Introduction
"It's about time!" was the comment by a radio industry guru when told of Keith Potger's first solo CD, Secrets Of The Heart.
As a founding member of the internationally famous Australian group The Seekers, Keith is already known to countless music industry professionals and fans of the group alike. Awards such as Australians Of The Year 1967, numerous Platinum and Gold Record achievements and concert tours have kept the group's image alive and well for over four decades.
So why did it take so long for Keith Potger to get into the recording studio in his own right?
Keith said:"I had been getting enormous satisfaction out of collaborating with my Seeker partners, helping other artists and writing songs, which kept me busy creatively. Then, in late 2002, I suffered what every singer dreads: I lost my voice and I don't mean temporarily. This was when the group was planning its 2003 tour and I virtually went into hiding while I worked on curing the problem with the aid of a speech therapist in Perth, WA. The happy ending was that I slowly regained my voice and was able to complete the tour. Shortly afterwards I firmly resolved to make demos of my songs in case something similar happened.
"In August 2003 I booked the recording studio for a few weeks to put down some basic versions of songs I had written during the past decade. I guess there must have been some extra inspiration in that studio because before I knew it the rough tracks had become polished tracks. The original idea of putting down thirteen songs was expanded to nineteen and I felt like I was singing better than ever.
"The result is this CD which I am very proud to introduce to you as a window to my experiences. As I say in the liner notes: '…this is a life event for me'. Some of the lyrics, such as 'I'm gonna hit the ground running' and 'I searched for the light, you brought me the sun…you gave me everything in your love' reflect my energy and attitude. Like the words, the music comes from my heart."
