  • Description

    RAW is Reg Meuross singing and playing his 1944 Martin 017, tenor guitar, banjo, dulcimer and harmonica. An intimate and engaging performance, and a glimpse into the heart, soul, songs and stories of one of England's finest contemporary folk artists.

    Completing The RAW Trilogy (alongside previous releases December and Faraway People), RAW is Reg's most stripped down album to date - one man and his songs: songs about forgotten heroes, famous names, folk legends, the climate emergency, tales from the kitchen sink and news from the world stage; if something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross Music 8203; has a song for it.

    Description

    RAW The third and final collection in a trilogy of solo albums comprising 2016’s December and 2017’s Faraway People (both recorded by Roy Dodds at The Kitchen Floor Studio London) and now RAW - the most stripped back of the three - recorded by old friend Geoff Hocking. Available in CD and vinyl.

    “Geoff recorded everything I did back in the mid-1970’s when I was just finding my way as a singer / songwriter in the North Devon area.” says Reg. "Geoff’s only motivation back then, and still now, is the love of song and music, and the passion for recording as well and as truly as possible what he hears. So for a few months earlier this year I had the pure joy of travelling west – my favourite direction – to his beautiful house and recording simply and honestly my new songs as they’ve come to me - RAW” Reg Meuross

    “...assured a place in the pantheon of great folk songwriters.”
    David Kidman, The Living Tradition

    “The remarkable singer-songwriter that is Reg Meuross”
    Sean Rafferty BBC RADIO 3
