Peter Philipson, guitarist of the missed Starless And Bible Black, leads a Manchester collective through a superb set of traditional British songs, played in a pedal steel laden early Seventies West Coast style, with guest vocalists from folk’s fringes.
Jenny McCormick walks the primrose path of The Wicker Man’s satanically seductive Gently Johnny; Elle Osborne’s Under The Leaves hangs suspended in a steel walled echo chamber; Jim Causley’s strident Out With My Gun In The Morning sounds like the 80s psychedelic revivalists Rain Parade playing Fairport Convention; and James Raynard charts a determined course through the churning haze of The Roaming Journeyman.
Here’s to volume two.
