Gilding The Lily

Description

'Gilding The Lily' is the 2025 solo album by Tyla J. Pallas of The Dogs D'amour. "Brand new album from Tyla (The Dogs D'amour) featuring the new single 'Cadillac Man'. It's become a bit of a cliche these days to say 'I dreamed up this idea, this song, this story book etc' But that's exactly what I did with the song 'Cadillac Man', the lyrics and the video idea and the melody because it was just after noon, I jumped out of bed and scribbled the lyrics down and picked up my trusty black Gibson J200, the guitar I've written nearly every song on since the day I bought it new in 1991. It was then I realised I had been dreaming the chords too! I was 62 when I started writing and recording this album in the Autumn of 2023 and will be 64 this July. I sent certain songs to Simon (Hanson) who bashed the drums into them and then I sent them to Jamie Turnbull ('In Vino Veritas' / Tyla's Dogs D'amour producer) knowing he was a great guitarist but I didn't know how great he was! This is the first album I've made on which you can, and even I can, play air guitar too! The songs just flowed and I seem to have captured most, if not all human emotions in a genie's lamp which I now put into your trusty hands, ears, eyes and soul. I implore you, open the lid and I can guarantee some, if not all of your wishes will come true. 'Gilding the Lily' is the album I've tried to write and wanted to write my whole life."
