Steve Hiett was the renaissance man’s renaissance man. Aside from making his name in Paris as a prominent photographer, artist and graphic designer, he was a natural dab hand at music. Girls In The Grass — a compilation of previously unreleased material from his archives — more than showcases Hiett’s cinematic sensibilities, as well as his lovingly restrained approach to guitar composition. There’s enough homely, fireside notes here to rival his former sole available masterpiece, Down On The Road By The Beach.
