About this item

Richard Youngs' first new guitar / vocals full-length in two years, the first since his critically-acclaimed "The Naive Shaman", which landed him on the front cover of The Wire. Melody Maker once called him no less than the 'grand-meister of contemporary British improv, spiritual son of Eddie Prevost and Maddy Prior; gentle manipulator of English hymn-notics and religious incantations; protege, challenger and radicaliser of folk, blues, rock, minimalism and improvisation; translator for the sea and the rain and the sky; ambassador to war and peace, to love and anguish', and 'poet-seducer of souls'.
