Hatful Of Rain – Way Up On The Hill

Published by Geordie on May 1, 2012 in Acoustic, Blue Grass, Country, Folk and New Album Alert. 0 Comments

Often, while searching around for new music to put up on this blog it’s very easy to ignore the stuff happening on your own doorstep. I guess sometimes the music happening locally can be kept secret for a while until you see how a band or singer develops. I mean, in any town in any city across the world there will be people who form bands with the best of intentions but within a year they realise how hard work it can be and give it up to go back to their day jobs. However, in the case of Brighton’s Hatful Of Rain this couldn’t be further from the truth. Although they still have day jobs, this could all soon change if the reaction to their soon to be released debut album is anything to go by.Within 48 hours of them announcing the release date of their album, Way Up On The Hill and posting a video of the title track on Youtube, they’d received over 1000 hits, Mike Harding (Radio 2 folk show) requested a copy after seeing the video which he then posted on this Facebook page. The legend that is Bob Harris re-tweeted it to his 20 thousand followers, describing the title track as “beautiful”, Bob’s Folk Show loved it and quickly slipped it into the schedule for this Thursday, Barry Marshall-Everitt made it album of the week for next week on his House of Mercy Radio show! That is high praise let me tell you.

This is not a review as i don’t have the album myself yet but check this amazing band out. Chloe Overton is the lead singer/songwriter and has a voice to match anyone. I’ve had them play a couple of Drifter shows in the past and are a great live band too.

Signed to Union Music Store Records you can pre-order the album here now. I urge you to do so.

Here is the video they posted. Please watch and then share it among anyone you think will like it. Like it? They should LOVE it!  

 

Serious Sam Barrett – New Album!

Published by Geordie on March 25, 2012 in Acoustic, Folk, New Album Alert, Vimeo and blues. 0 Comments

I’ve written about Serious Sam Barrett a couple of times on this blog before,  here and here and will continue to do so because for me he is the most genuine folk singer the UK has to offer and has been for quite a while now. He’s kindly sent me his new album which is going to be out in the coming weeks (exact date to be confirmed soon) and i think it’s his best work to date.

At 31 years of age, i think Sam is at those crossroads in his life many of us are aware of when we pass thirty, realising we’re not kids anymore although in our hearts we still are, our heads are telling us we need to get serious (no pun intended). We start reminiscing about our childhoods and ex relationships, wondering what happened to those you don’t see anymore but at the same time trying to work out what the future may hold for yourself, are the dreams we had when we were young still possible or have they changed with the passage of time. Sam touches on all of these things on his brilliant, self-titled new album and boy, is he on fire! Drawing influence from early twentieth century folk, fifties rock ‘n roll and the punk era (if Sam was around in the mid to late seventies, he’d be a punk) he touches on the past, relationships and his dreams and does so in rip-roaring style.

Straight from the off  he is on breathtaking form as he sings a song for his grandfather who was a union man all his life and ‘never cared much for the law’ and is a fitting tribute to him and i think the perfect opener given that the album then goes on to have songs of reminisce, hopes and dreams. His guitar playing on this first track (and throughout the album) is really quite staggering, whether it’s at lightening speed like on this first track or a slower, waltz tempo like on the song Streetlights. I don’t know if it was a conscious decision to start with a song about the past given how the album then develops, but in my mind it’s Sam reminding us he knows who is is and where he’s from and how proud he is of that but then goes onto sing ‘Hennessy Nights’, a song about never been too old to go skateboarding and drink into the early morning with your mates. If the opening track was played in a more traditional style, then Hennessy Nights is a song that i could hear Joe Strummer singing! Then there’s ‘Streetlights’ which Sam wrote in the early hours of the morning while watching the snow fall from his window, dreaming of driving through Dixie with his brother, a place he’s been to a few times playing solo as well as with The Pine Hill Haints as well as others.

The saddest song on the album is ‘Kerosene’. Spilling his guts and pleading with the person in question to ‘stay away from those that hurt you and make you feel bad ’cause i worry more than you’ll ever know.’ I imagine being a musician and away on tour a lot, relationships suffer and  have to remain strong and trustworthy but there are bound to be moments of doubt and anguish and this is Sam attempting to deal with those things although i’m unsure if in this particular song  he knows something is already over?

The album then goes onto have tracks titled ’16 again’ and ‘Holding Out’. The former, a song about heartbreak and booze and the latter, his quest after a few failed relationships to find his true love who he’s going to make ‘feel like his queen’

Finishing off the album are probably my two favourite tracks on the album. The incredible Dreams and Long Gone. Dreams because it’s a song that is simply telling us he would love nothing better than playing and singing in a different bar every night of the week because ‘the road is long and he’s too far gone to live any other way’ and ‘dreams don’t chase themselves’. Long Gone, because it’s somewhere we’ve all been when we’re no longer with someone we once loved, trying to drink the pain away and find the answers in the bottom of the empty glass.

Having listened to the album a few times now, what comes across more than anything to me (and always has done really) is not very deep down, what a hopeless romantic Sam is. I don’t say that in a negative way, i think it’s a brilliant thing that he can expose his heart like he does when singing about a girl he misses or loves, or the joys of skateboarding with his mates, but also i hear what a dreamer he is and what he hopes to be doing for a long time to come. We all have dreams, right? Also, although some of the songs touch on subjects like failed relationships and heartbreak, they don’t have a negative slant, if anything Sam shows what a perfect gentleman he is by either wishing them them well or trying to find reason why they ended.He also sings about a lot of places in America, Tennessee, Alabama, all places he’s been on tour a few times now and clearly loves but he still often reminds us, he will always belong to his beloved Leeds.

People are always talking about the ‘real deal’ these days, in America right now, two folk singers you can definitely call that are, Malcolm Holcombe and Charlie Parr (who Sam supported last year and Charlie informed me he’s almost worn out the vinyl of Sam’s record, HIGH PRAISE INDEED!) In the UK the real deal is Serious Sam Barrett, they don’t come any more authentic.

No mp3 at this moment but hopefully be able to offer you one when the album is officially released. In the meantime, you can listen to a track here and also watch the  video below of ‘Henessesy Nights’. Follow Sam on his Facebook and website to be kept up to date with the album release date and gigs etc. Enjoy.

Elephant Micah – Louder Than Thou

Published by Geordie on January 29, 2012 in Acoustic, Alternative, Folk and New Album Alert. 0 Comments

Not a review (as i don’t have the album, yet) but more of a heads up that Elephant Micah (who i last wrote about here) has a new album out on 31st January. It’s available on vinyl too and you can order if from his webpage here as well as grab a free track called ‘If I was a Surfer’. If this song is representative of the album then we’re in for a real treat. Amazing song from one of America’s most gifted talents. He never releases anything less than brilliant as far as i’m concerned.

 

The Lonesome Drifters Albums Of The Year

Published by Geordie on December 14, 2011 in Acoustic, Alt-Country, Alternative, Americana, Blue Grass, Country, Experimental / Psychedelic, Folk, French, Indie, On iTunes, Rock, Singer Songwriter, Southern and blues. 0 Comments

Rather than put this particular list in any order of preference or to only choose a certain amount of albums, i’m just going to list the albums that have really struck me as my favourites of 2011 and let you be the judge. All i will say is that i think it’s been a pretty good year for music, especially at a roots and small, indie label level and i personally hope this trend continues into 2012 and beyond. It’s further proof that if you are making good music and bringing it to your live shows, word of mouth still counts for a lot. To be taken to the bands website to purchase the albums just click on their name. Please note, i’m not trying to review these albums here, there are far better places across the net to find those and i will often copy and paste quotes from them, but hopefully by listing my own personal favourites it helps spread the word that little bit further. Please, if you like any of these suggestions, go and buy the album or go and see them play if they come through your town and really help support them as well as your local promoters. Anyway, here goes and in no particular order my 2011 picks are….

Sarabeth Tucek – Get Well Soon

An album that gripped me on the very first listen. Sarabeth’s voice is crystal clear and each word clearly defined, it reminds me of Karen Carpenter’s in many ways, perhaps some Aimee Mann too. Having spent a few years drinking too much, getting arrested. spending time in jail and then the the death of her father, all that sadness, grief and regret all seems to spill out into this album. There’s heartbreaking ballads like the title track through to Crazy Horse influenced songs like Wooden and Exit Ghost. If i was really pushed into saying what my album of the year is, i think i would say this one. It’s certainly the album i’ve listened to the most, that’s for sure. ‘I knew I was sad /I recognised it was bad/but now looking back/I see my mind, it was cracked’ are the lyrics to the beginning of the title track and they get me every time. Put simply, a stunning album.

The Milk Carton Kids – Prologue


With Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan having both released solo albums as well as an album  together under their real names they seem to have now settled on The Milk Carton Kids which  incidentally is a name of one of their songs. Kenneth’s facebook status at time of writing reads  Home = 98 Away = 247 #NightsInMyOwnBed2011 which goes to show how hard these two work  and they’ve already got a headline tour booked for January! It would seem all that hard work is paying off having just finished a tour supporting Over The Rhine and i’m hoping they get some European dates in 2012 too. Quite simply one of the best albums i’ve heard in a very long time and i think 2012 is going to be a very big year for these. Check them out.

Good Luck Mountain – Good Luck Mountain



You have to have a pretty cold heart not to be moved by this incredible album. Mike Ferrio’s  previous band, Tandy came to an end after his great friend and band member Drew Glackin  tragically passed away aged just 44. Good Luck Mountain is an attempt to deal with this tragic event and to say it succeeds majestically would be an understatement. As Mike said himself “When Drew died it really took the paint off me. I couldn’t seem to do anything but think about it and grieve. I missed singing and laughing with Drew. It was a big silence.  After a while I began to be able to hear his voice and his laughter again and after a while the songs started coming” Do yourself a favour and buy this album immediately, your life will be so much better for it.

Cahalen Morrison & Eli West – The Holy Coming Of The Storm


Taking bluegrass to a whole, new level. While we all love to hear the old classics you can start  to hear them being played by a million different bluegrass bands too often so it’s brilliantly  refreshing to hear a band write and play their own songs in this style and ones that can sit  proudly alongside the old ones. This is their debut album and you’d think they’d been at it for years. Talent.

The Brook Lee Catastrophe – Motel Americana

A late contender for album of the year in my opinion. Represents everything that’s great about Americana, brilliantly written songs about girls, love, heartache and everyday, small town life played with heart and soul. As well as the usual cd/mp3 option there is also vinyl which is limited to just 200  copies which i highly recommend. This band are going places and are worth keeping your eye  on.

Jjango Cleefworth Morriconez – The Poquito Pioneer

‘The meandering green 74’ Oldsmobile resident travels through the deserts of the waning west  and teetering bordertowns. He finds refuge among the roadside vendors and immigrant        folktales on his way to the home of his youth in the Salton Sea‘

Certainly the most atmospheric pieces of music i heard this year are these two gems. Essentially  the same person (J.W.S) but two different concept albums which were created somewhere out in  the desert of New Mexico. Having been delivered to me wrapped in a map of that area and a note written in  orange crayon, nothing could have prepared for what i was about to hear. I’m not anywhere near a descriptive enough writer to express how good these two albums are. I say albums, i suppose they could be the A and B sides of one album but the mixture of sounds, anything from field recordings to synths, all with a slight cosmic, tripped out country tinge to it all, they mess with your head somewhat, they scare me a little bit if i’m honest but if you follow the concept then that’s not surprising. If you want to listen to something a little bit different, totally unique, a little bit creepy but but also incredibly beautiful then i HIGHLY recommend these two albums. Just stunning! (Word reaches The Lonesome Drifter that these are both available for free for a very limited time only over at the website. However, i still say pay the few $’ he’s asking and receive the real thing)

Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens – Highway Driveway

‘ A townman’s roadtrip from driveway highway to highway driveway. Sun rising and sun setting  euphoria as he wanders across the lost western expanse of the Sonoran desert on Dwight D.  Eisenhower’s gas strewn trails‘

Keren Ann – 101

An absolutely classic that never received the plaudits it really deserves. A variety of styles  throughout the album which i think works tremendously well but given that she grew up in  Israel,  Holland, Paris and now resides in New York it’s no surprise there’s elements of  Jewish  folk and  something rather ‘French’ sounding throughout it all, whatever that means. However,  it’s her  dreamy voice which stands out and no matter what kind of day you have had, this  album and her voice always makes it much better.

Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell – Kite

Given that i played their debut EP  ’The North Farm Sessions’ to death i thought i was perhaps  expecting too much of their debut album, Kite, but if anything i wasn’t expecting enough!  Produced by Adrian McNally (The Unthanks) it’s a fine, fine debut with a perfect mixture of  their own songs and a couple of covers with Lucy leaning towards the more traditional  sounding songs and Jonny a little more contemporary but together they have released one of  the years best albums in any genre. 2012 is going to be their year. Watch this space.

Nathan Bell – Black Crow Blue

An album i first came across over at Songsillinois.net and he sums it up nicely saying there is a  certain James McMurtry similarity going on here but i think also some Springsteen too. Really  deep, powerful songs that i think John Conquest of Third Coast Music summed up perfectly,  writing “Bell’s mature talent makes a good case for the argument that people shouldn’t start  writing songs until they’ve been around long enough to know what the fuck they’re talking  about.”  Can’t argue with that really.

Eilen Jewell – Queen Of The Minor Key

An album that get’s better with every listen. Eilen has come a long, long way since here  excellent debut, Boundary County but i think this latest album really highlights her diversity.  Backed magnificently by one of the best bands you will ever hear there is everything from surf  to rockabilly but of course inside it all is still the country girl shimmering away as good as  anyone. Queen of any key if you ask me. A must have album.

The Shivers – More

I could try and come across as all cool and hip and say i’ve been into The Shivers since blah  blah blah but i won’t, because i haven’t. In fact i only knew of them a couple of months ago  when instead of agreeing to pay £28 to go see Gillian Welch i paid £5 to go see these and i came  away with the vinyl, a new favourite band and a night that will live long in the memory.  Everyone should dig The Shivers because they are as honest as they come and they hit that  spot not only once or twice but in pretty much every song they create. Dig, dig, DIG!

Jeffrey Foucault – Horse Latitudes

Lush, country/folk ballads as good as anything i’ve heard this year.  It also features the immense  talents of Eric Heywood (Ray Lamontagne,Son Volt) on pedal steel, it’s delicately played alongside Jeffrey’s guitar and  soothing, husky voice making for an exceptional album that i think many readers of this blog  will love. Go get it now!

The Lucky Strikes – Gabriel Forgive My 22 Sins

A concept album about a boxer who is living with the guilt of once throwing a fight, based on a  true meeting with the boxer in question by all accounts. All that aside, it really is a  masterpiece of an album and one i’ve gone back to time and time again since it’s release earlier  in the year. With Matthew Boulter’s incredible voice leading the way this band can do no  wrong for me. When i had the pleasure of booking them to play my hometown, they played like  they were in an arena of 50,000 people instead of the 45 or so who were in attendance so for  that alone they are in my list but that’s not the main reason they are. This great album has everything. Soaring vocals, full on rock at times, beautiful, well crafted ballads but most of all every time i play it i smile from ear to ear, it’s just one of those albums that does that.

Israel Nash Gripka – Barn Doors and Concrete Floors

Israel is someone who i think is going to break through into the mainstream very, very soon.  This Steve Shelley produced album kind of follows on from his debut, New York Town with it’s  Country/Rock swagger. Songs of temptation and redemption counteract one another perfectly  with many foot stompers and big choruses to sing along to. Much of the music press compared  him to The Rolling Stones in country mode mixed with some Ryan Adams. I’d say that pretty  much sums it up. Great album and a must see live band. Take your ear plugs!

Case Hardin – Every Dirty Mirror

When it comes to UK Americana, ukericana? they don’t come much better than Case Hardin.  Reviewers across the music press said things like ‘Self-confident and unafraid to  experiment, Every Dirty Mirror touches base with a range of sounds found in the post-Uncle  Tupelo soundscape’ and ‘echoes Dylans Desire period in both scope and atmosphere and marks  out Gow as one of our finest storytelling songwriters.’ Not a bad track on the the album. Highly  recommended.

Hiss Golden Messenger – Poor Moon

Featuring contributions from Terry Lonergan, Nathan Bowles (Black Twig Pickers; Pelt), Hans Chew (D. Charles Speer & the Helix), Matt Cunitz (Brightblack Morning Light), Tom Heyman (The Court & Spark), and others, Poor Moon represents both an elaboration and inversion of previous Hiss Golden Messenger efforts, proposing an America at perpetual sundown, wracked by devotion, wrecked by celebration. Named in homage to the Canned Heat track penned by the immortal Blind Owl, Poor Moon conjures the unsteady experience of soul at home in the wild, and it stands as a captivating document of Southern songcraft. Paradise of Bachelors


King Creosote & Jon Hopkins – Diamond Mine

Both share a taste for a rather languid tempo, that of small-town life and the more tender,  bittersweet emotions; and theirs is a pairing that’s complementary, Hopkins colouring in the  spaces around Anderson’s wearied voice, guitar and woozy accordion. BBC


30 Pounds Of Bone – Method

An album that seeks to explore the folksinger’s contradictory status as an outsider, often  recording and touring alone, a situation seemingly at odds with folk’s suggestion of  community. The result is a record fraught with geographic dissatisfaction, heartbreak, ghosts,  isolation and drunkenness. Sitting uncomfortably somewhere between auto-biography and  allegory the songs take in real life events and fantastical narrative concerning relationships,  the dangers of being eaten by the dead and the difficulties of communicating when at sea. Armellodie Records


Danny Schmidt – Man Of Many Moons

Having now released numerous albums and all of them received really well across the music press, it’s still surprising that Danny Schmidt is not a household name. Talent oozes from every single part of this man. Writes a song as good as anyone around, plays the guitar like he was  born with it in his arms and sings beautifully with his slightly whispered tone. If you don’t yet  know Danny Schmidt,please correct that wrong asap because your world will be all the better  for it.


There are many more great albums i heard this year but these are the ones that really stood out for me.I will also be playing a track from each one of these album on my radio show THIS Saturday from 10am (UK Time) on Radio23.org and a podcast will be available to download afterwards from my blog. Hope you enjoy and hopefully you may have found something you’ve never heard before and you then also spread the word.

My tip for next year is concept albums, they’re going to be everywhere. Happy 2012!

 

Lucky Jim – For The Love Of Emily

Published by Geordie on October 6, 2011 in Acoustic, Folk, New Album Alert and On iTunes. 0 Comments

How Lucky Jim is not a household name by now is beyond me. I can’t fathom it all. Having wrote about him here 3 years ago and interviewing him for his outstanding album True North, i was convinced that his time had finally arrived. In fairness it should have been with his previous releases when he was signed to Skint records that he became a household name but for whatever reasons it just didn’t happen regardless of those albums receiving great reviews across the music press. He has now bettered all those albums in my opinion with his latest effort For The Love Of Emily. Now with a great, new band behind him this album hits you deep in your soul from the very first track, Belfast (which funnily enough i believe is about Edinburgh) through to the perfect ending track Good Ship Emily, but at this moment i cannot pick out anything even resembling a bad track, they’re all top drawer. Gordon Grahame, the main man behind Lucky Jim is a really great songwriter, sometimes a little abstract which can you leave you guessing at what the song is really about but i always like that in a songwriter as it leaves the songs open to many interpretations.

Given the rather romantic nature of the album the use of strings are balanced perfectly alongside the great musicianship at work here. To me the album sounds as if it’s full of fresh optimism which i guess you would fully expect when you have put a new band together. It gets better with every listen and has been on a daily spin for the last couple of weeks.

So this is not so much of a review but more of a heads up that Lucky Jim have done it again and released ANOTHER album of supreme quality and surely this can’t be ignored for too much longer by the masses can it? Please help spread the word, tweet, re-blog, facebook it, run down the street stark bollock naked if you must and help get this album the recognition it truly deserves. Here is a little taster. Enjoy. Buy from itunes, amazon etc

Mark Wynn – Stories, Rags & Stomps

Published by Geordie on September 26, 2011 in Acoustic, Country, Folk, New Album Alert, On Tour and blues. 0 Comments

Stories, rags and stomps Cover Art

One of the best discoveries for me over the last couple of years is Mark Wynn. Apparently he’s from York but looking at his tour schedule i’m not sure how much time he spends there, he is constantly on the road playing shows the length and breadth of the UK and often travelling pretty big distances between one show and the other and then back again. His latest, self released offering is Stories, Rags & Stomps, a 9 track country/blues album that is as good as anything i’ve heard all year. His previous album Lovers, Losers & Wasters is an album i have played hundreds of times and this carries on in very much the same vein.

Resembling a young, skinny Keith Richards, Mark writes songs with titles like Friday Night (fallin’ down), Wreckheads and World Can wait which come across like a direct response to his life on the road and the people he meets rather than a sad attempt to appear cool and showing how ‘rock n roll’ he is. A quite brilliant songwriter with a sharp eye for the easily overlooked he reminds me of a young Townes van Zandt, a certain vulnerability belies his incredible talent but he can you stop you dead in your tracks with many of his songs, I Don’t Mind,  Factory Girls and the rather reflective Sad Stoned (fallin in the street) are all worthy of your full attention. With the amount of gigs and the variety of venues he plays you just know that many of the characters and the stories he sings about are true. Too many late nights and not enough early mornings i suppose are the key ingredients to writing songs as good as this. Not in it for the fame but like most musicians wouldn’t mind making an ok living from it, songwriters like Mark Wynn deserve to be heard now and not in twenty years time like the aforementioned Mr van Zandt and many others like him. Discover him today and be thankful that you did, there’s not many like him around.

You can buy his album(s) either as a digital download or as a cd for no more than the change in your pocket here and i urge you to do so. In the meantime here’s a little taster.

Red Heart The Ticker – Your Name In Secret I Would Write

Published by Geordie on August 15, 2011 in Acoustic, Country, Folk and New Album Alert. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

Over the last week or so, having been inspired by one of my favourite t.v shows, Who Do You Think You Are?, I have been trying to compile my family tree. Not only is it highly addictive but also a stark reminder of how fragile our existence really is, what seem like very small, almost forgotten moments in someone’s life at the time of occurrence, in the end are just as important as any other, everything has an effect on the future of not only them but also, ultimately, us which leads me nicely to the new album by Red Heart The Ticker.

A husband and wife team of Robin MacArthur and Tyler Gibbons from Vermont, their last album Oh My! Mountains Below received high praise from the likes of Paste magazine, Pitchfork as well as many blogs like Songs Illinois and was one of my favourite albums of that year (2008). That album was made shortly after Robin’s grandmother had passed away and as Songs Illinois mentioned, it’s at times sombre but does have moments of happiness. Robin’s grandmother was folk singer Margaret MacArthur and it’s this new album, Your Name In Secret I Would Write which is dedicated to her (and their daughter, Avah) as it’s an album of traditional folk songs that she (and others) used to sing.

Margaret MacArthur moved, in the 1940′s to an 1803 abandoned farmhouse in southern Vermont and it was there that she started singing the old folk songs from that area. Initially she recorded fifteen songs in her kitchen and sent them to Moses Asch of Folkway Records after he requested them after seeing Margaret perform somewhere. These recordings became the first of nine albums Margaret recorded.

Fast forward seventy or so years later and in the very study where Margaret passed away, Robin and Tyler are sat with microphones at the ready along with these folk songs, a 1961 Martin guitar played by Margaret on some of her recordings, a fretless banjo built by Robin’s grandfather, a viola belonging to Tyler’s father as well as an electric fender belonging to Robin’s father which given the nature of the album all seems rather appropriate, the songs  given new life but commemorating the old. This is not an album made by a band looking to jump on the latest folk trend but by a family member paying homage to her grandmother as well as keeping the songs alive.

Songs that really leap out on first listen are Lakes of Champlain and the heart wrenching Stratton Mountain Tragedy, the latter a song about a dying mother who wraps her child in her clothing during a winter storm hoping her child somehow survives. It ends well, she does. But the entire album plays out like a lament to those who have passed away, a deep respect to family and friends, alive or dead, a thank you to the landscape and the mountains that surround them for influencing such passion in these people but also to the future generations who may one day, maybe  in a small, almost forgotten moment hear these old songs and then choose to give them new life again just like Robin and Tyler have done and therefore keeping the musical family tree alive whilst also been reminded of the importance of their ancestry.

I think Grandma would be proud and if you listen very carefully i think you can hear her singing along.

The album is due for release on September 20th on Auger Down records on both cd and vinyl but i have kindly been allowed to choose one myself to offer you now as a taster before you buy. Enjoy.
