Description
A remarkable debut album which carries English folk music into the 21st century.
A beautiful and remarkably assured debut album from Ian King, which mixes English traditional song with a very contemporary sound palate. Working with the acclaimed On-U sound crew - Adrian Sherwood and Skip 'Little Axe' McDonald - has enabled King to bring a new and exciting perspective to the songs of Old England. "It's been quite a while since I felt this excited and impressed by a singer". Ian King has star-quality and a commanding stage-presence. He is a grown-up singer, straightforward and strong, and his band, which includes the incomparable Skip McDonald, surprises and intrigues with accompaniments that are elegant, witty, daring and powerful.
