Just came across the album May be some time by Brighton born but now London based artist Jon Redfern after reading about his latest release Acoustic. Man, what a debut album this is !! Signed to the brilliant revealrecords label (Nels andrew, Kris drever, joan as policwoman) There’s strings, Piano, some lush guitar playing, a great voice and he even manages to have some sax in there without it sounding cheesy. Obvious comparisons with John martyn and Nick drake are mentioned in just about every review you read but he does add his own style to it too with elements are electro in one or two tracks and some poppier more accessible moments. Stand out tracks for me are Home at last (Which really reminds me of a song i can’t quite think of right now and it’s annoying the hell out of me) and I love the sun, the latter you can hear a stripped down version on his latest release also. I’m listening to the album with the sun just setting out of the window, it’s a nice spring evening, the smell of fresh cut grass wafting in from outside, new flowers everywhere, glass of wine in hand and this album seems to be the ideal soundtrack for such a beautiful evening.
Great stuff. Thanks for the post.
Home At Last is a Walter Becker/Donald Fagen composition from Steely Dan’s Aja album
