Album DescriptionLeeds?based musician Chris Hooson is a very prolific man. He seems to brim over with ideas for songs and projects. Although he works a full job as an adviser in a probation center, he and his band Dakota Suite still find enough time to put all these songs on magnetic tape. Over the years, Dakota Suite have released a singles compilation (Alone With Everybody, 1998), a collection of instrumental pieces for piano and assorted instruments (Navigators Yard, 1999), another instrumental one recorded with a chamber orchestra (The Way I Am Sick, 2001), a mini album (Morning Lake Forever, 2000) and two "real" full-length albums: Songs For A Barbed Wire Fence(1998) and Signal Hill(2000). Without wanting to dismiss all the other projects, This River Only Brings Poison is Dakota Suite's third album.
