Paul Wassif

The 2008 London Cowboys retrospective release 'Relapse'[1] features the song 'Dragging in the Dirt' with band founder Steve Dior.Wassif formed a group in the late 1990s with Henry Olsen (of Primal Scream) named Distant Cousins.

[5] On Bert Jansch's final studio album The Black Swan, released in 2006, Paul co-wrote 'Magdalina's Dance' and performs on 'My Pocket's Empty' and 'A Woman Like You'.

[7] One review of Bert's 2007 Somerset House concert (that also featured Bernard Butler and Beth Orton) described that "Wassif adds a country tinge to the music, which remains as sweet as ever as their first number ignores vocals to revel instead in these guitarists' undiluted skill".

[9] On 3 December 2013 he performed on four songs at the concert "A Celebration of Bert Jansch" at London's Royal Festival Hall alongside Robert Plant, Lisa Knapp, Donovan and various members of Pentangle, amongst others.

Looking Up Feeling Down was produced by Paul Wassif and David Watson, mastered by Tony Cousins at Metropolis Studios in London, and is released on Black Brown & White Records,[17] a record label owned by Stephen Lyttelton[18] (son of jazz musician Humphrey Lyttelton) and Karen Sonego (daughter of Brazilian folk musician, Zé Tapera)
