Veteran Christchurch musician Al Park has just released his new album, titled One For The Dog, One For The Cat and One For The People With A Monkey On Their Back. Its a mouthful, so you can call it Monkey for short

The 13th Floor's Marty Duda found Al at home in Lyttelton, keen to talk about making this new album with Adam Hattaway and Elmore Jones. Al's been making music for donkey's years so he's got plenty of stories to tell, some of which inspired the film Head South. We like the one about the song he wrote with 32 verses!
