Back cover	Periodically Cardier graces us with albums of extraordinary originality - which draw acclaim from all over the world. He is now mining a rich vein of creativity which throws up stark images and characters, the ghosts of a childhood well observed. The newest outing Cool Under Fire takes us into a film noir world inhabited by the the likes of Lauren Bacall and the cool Johnny-Oh. Along a wrong turn to a grand old place with dust on the chandelier and gold pain't peeling' where the last jukebox, still with a spark of electricity, ekes out ethereal sounds in the dark of night. (Glenn A Baker) "Five albums into a 21st century resurrection that has been as lauded as the original by true roots music fans, Glenn Cardier has again captured that special blend of humour and heart that has won him the well-deserved reputation as the greatest singer/songwriter working in Australia today. Cool Under Fire is a confirmation of his songwriting genius." (Bernie Howitt)

Stranger Than Fiction CD (2012)

Glenn Cardier has taken the Sideshow into Sydney's legendary Alberts Studios to produce his fifth CD 'Stranger Than Fiction'. The Sideshow are Rex Goh (lead guitar), Davo Fester (drums and percussion), Phil Grove (keyboards) and Nick Hoorweg (upright and electric bass). It was hard to ignore the sense of history in the studios, with photos of AC/DC, Vanda and Young and Neil Finn adorning the walls. Davo Fester used the Easybeats' old drumkit throughout. Cardier then worked on further tracks at his own studio adding acoustic and electric guitars, vocals and Tony Gibson's trombone.

The cover shot of 'Stranger Than Fiction' is 'Akrobat', a photograph of 36 year old Freddie Harrison who combines acrobatics with piano-playing. He is making his debut at London's Windmill Theatre in 1952. The spirit of people like Freddie is present throughout this collection of Cardier's lyrical rock'n'roots songs. As Cardier says in the liner notes, 'Here's to the artifice of performance, here's to all you odd ones out.'

I was listening to a lot of Hasil Adkins when I wrote ‘Angelica’. He made records alone in the backwoods in the States in the 50’s. I played electric 12 string on the title track a-la the Byrds. It’s a mid 60’s Fender. I like the old guitars. There’s a ’56 Martin on ‘Flash Guitar’ and a ’59 Gretsch doing all the fat electric stuff. I play the resonator in a folk guitar style, not bottleneck. It’s made by Greg Beeton and it’s serial number 4. It’s on ‘She’s The One For Me’ and ‘All’s Well’ and some others. I get lots of emails about ‘Invisible Ink’. I’m playing the Beeton on that one too. It’s a mysterious kind of song.

Tracks: 1/Exiles From Eden 2/Angelica 3/Cold Out There 4/Watch Out (Love Gonna Getcha) 5/Invisible Ink 6/Drive That Car 7/Life Of The Party 8/Flash Guitar 9/Water Into Wine 10/Uncharted Waters 11/Face The Day 12/She’s The One For Me 13/Catch Me If I Fall 14/All’s Well (That Ends Well)

This is an album of ghosts. Elvis. The old Cloudland Ballroom in Brisbane. Knockin’ round the old haunts.

I love the dancers reflected in the Elvis sunnies on the sleeve. I guess this record suggested that I meant business and wasn’t going to do my disappearing trick again. ‘Mr Happy’ was used by the producers of the Spike Milligan DVD ‘I Told You I Was Ill’ and ‘Free To Fly’ is featured near the end of the film, the part where Spike’s children are going through his old stuff. ‘Free To Fly uses a lot of flying and falling imagery in the lyrics.”

Tracks: 1/Water Finds Its Own Level 2/Strangers 3/Wild In The Summertime 4/Elvis At The Checkout 5/Asylum Blues 6/Dancing The Years Away 7/Mr Happy 8/Free To Fly 9/House Of Mirrors 10/Come Back To Me
