James Slater has crafted 12 great songs in the Americana tradition, with extra instruments and production by Paul Hobday.
Loss, love, war, and provide the rich backcloth for these lovely, mournful tunes that resonate with a very English style of folk telling. Echoes of Gene Pitney, The Walker Brothers, Eagles, Joe Walsh and Chicago. The voice of the lowly is never far away in James's songs, reflecting the harsh realities and fleeting pleasures of the everyman. K Langley
