Stables - Disagree

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Disagree’ - Stables

We love this track from London based indie-folk duo the Stables. They did a live version this year from Bob Harris’ UTAT sessions, which we will include below for you. The song is the second single from their album 'Reverie'.

The Indie-Folk duo have been playing together from their days at school; after forming the successful folk-pop band Keston Cobblers Club, with Daniel moving on to study architecture (whilst still involved in music) and Matthew continuing to write and perform with The Cobblers and composing for film. The two have finally decided to pair up and embark on a new musical journey.

'Beyond Brushes' (their debut album) was released to critical acclaim just nine months after, in August 2016, and was championed by the likes of BBC's Steve Lamacq, and BBC6 Recommends (amongst others), soon establishing them firmly on the circuit, with a growing fan base.

Just a month after the release Matthew and Daniel embarked on their first UK headline tour, followed by a small French headline. Stables put emphasis on 'energy' when playing live; switching instruments and producing the sound of a full band, with big harmonies and varied styles. Matthew says; 'I always wanted to create a simple sound that could then be taken further when needed, from a small folk club, to a large festival stage'. Stables have gone on to tour the UK further, performing at major festivals including Glastonbury Festival, and have now completed a very successful first European Tour in the Autumn of 2017.

Stables' second album, 'Reverie', was released at the end of February 2018, surpassing their debut. 'We're incredibly proud of this record and can't wait for people to hear it'. Matthew calls it an 'almost break up album' that he wrote whilst in a 'period of relationship unrest, which resolved during the process'. 'This is the album we always wanted to release when we first imagined Stables. We love our debut, but this feels like the sound we always set out to produce'.

The Willows - Coda

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Coda’ - The Willows

Taken from their wonderful latest album ‘Through the Wild’, Coda is the new single from Cambridge band and LCM favourites The Willows. The video was filmed by Cliff Ward and stars the band, a seagull and a blustery beach at Broadstairs Folk Week.

The Willows are a folk-roots band from Cambridge, UK. The band shot to prominence when their debut album Beneath Our Humble Soil was championed by legendary BBC DJs Mike Harding and Bob Harris, who subsequently invited them in for a BBC Radio 2 live session. Considerable national acclaim followed including 4.5 stars in Maverick and a Spiral Earth Award nomination for Best Debut. Their follow up 'Amidst Fiery Skies' (produced by Sean Lakeman) received a 5-Star review in the Telegraph and a spot in their albums of the year.

With numerous festival appearances from Cambridge to Glastonbury they grew a reputation as one of the UK's most exciting live acts and were nominated for Best Band in the 2014 FATEA awards. Their new line-up is bursting with vocal and instrumental talent from across the UK roots scene. Stylistically the band continue to take in influences from Folk, Americana and rock traditions and meld them through their own engaging songwriting. Although it has to be said this line-up and album has more of the power and edge of their live shows than either predecessor. Lyrical songwriting is once again at the heart of the record... Initially direct and personal, the angst-ridden Americana opener Coda is offset by the beautifully optimistic Better Days. Perfect Crime drives home a tale of identity fraud during the Great War; Pearl Hart of a notorious 19th century highwaywoman; and the heartbreaking ballad Out of Our Hands laments the horrors of the battle of Solferino. Fronted by the distinctively tender vocals of Jade Rhiannon the band adds Katriona Gilmore (Gilmore & Roberts, The Albion Band) on fiddle to their line-up along with Ben Savage (Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage) on guitar/dobro, Evan Carson (Sam Kelly, Seth Lakeman) on drums/bodhran and Cliff Ward on banjo/guitar.

Jade Rhiannon – Vocals

Ben Savage – Guitar, Dobro, Vocals

Cliff Ward – Banjo, Guitar, Fiddle, Vocals

Evan Carson – Bodhran, Percussion

Katriona Gilmore – Violin, Mandolin, Vocals

The Willows release their 3rd studio album Through The Wild on 30th November 2018 on Elk Records.

Dougie MacLean - Caledonia

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Caledonia’ - Dougie MacLean

We go back into our archives for this wonderful anthemic live version of ‘Caledonia’ by Dougie Maclean.

Dougie wrote the song in less than 10 minutes on a beach in Brittany, France, feeling homesick for Scotland. He said: “I was in my early 20s and had been busking around with some Irish guys. I was genuinely homesick. I’d always lived in Perthshire. I played it to the guys when I got back to the youth hostel where we were staying and that was the final straw – we all went home the next day." He adds: "It took about 10 minutes but sometimes that’s how songs happen. I'm still amazed at how much it has become part of common culture. There’s not a pub singer, busker or pipe band that doesn’t play it."

Caledonia" was first recorded by Dougie and published in his 1979 joint album also titled ‘Caledonia’ by Alan Roberts and Doug MacLean.

Michaela Anne - By Our Design

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘By Our Design’ - Michaela Anne

With her excellent album ‘Desert Dove’ released in September via Yep Roc, our featured song today is the wonderful ‘By Our Design’ by Nashville based Michaela Anne.

If you are in London you can see Michaela live as she plays at OSLO, Hackney on Jan 29th as part of the AMA UK showcases

Full of lush, sweeping arrangements and honest, deeply vulnerable self-examination, ‘Desert Dove’ marks a bold new chapter for Michaela Anne, both artistically and professionally. While the songwriting is still very much rooted in the classic country she’s come to be known for, the record (her first for Yep Roc) represents something of a sonic shift, incorporating more modern production elements than ever before in pursuit of a sound that owes as much influence to indie rock as honky-tonk. Despite the bolder, more adventurous arrangements, Michaela’s crystalline voice remains front and center on the album, a pure, airy beam of light shining bravely into the dark corners of loneliness, pain, and desire that we all so often to try to hide.

Produced jointly by Sam Outlaw and Delta Spirit’s Kelly Winrich and recorded with an all-star band that included guitarist Brian Whelan (Dwight Yoakam, Jim Lauderdale), fiddler Kristin Weber (Kacey Musgraves, Margo Price), and drummers Mark Stepro (Ben Kweller, Butch Walker) and Daniel Bailey (Everest, Father John Misty), ‘Desert Dove’ is an achingly beautiful collection, with songs that frequently find themselves balancing optimism and fatalism in the very same breath. There’s an undercurrent of yearning in Michaela’s music (the melancholy “Be Easy,” for instance, chases a peace of mind that never comes, while the breezy “Child Of The Wind” longs for connection and permanence in the face of perpetual itinerancy), as well as a fiercely feminine perspective that’s assured in its power and unapologetic in its candor. The prostitute of the title track challenges the traditional perception of women as a source of comfort and service for men (“You love them all the way they want and they need / But tell me who does your heart wish to please?” she asks) and the spirited “If I Wanted Your Opinion” offers up an all-purpose response to gendered condescension.

Michaela first began garnering national attention with the 2014 release of ‘Ease My Mind,’ an old-school collection hailed by The New York Times for its “plain-spoken songs of romantic regret and small-town longing” and named one of the year’s best country albums by The Village Voice. After a move from Brooklyn to Nashville, Michaela followed it up in 2016 with the similarly lauded ‘Bright Lights and the Fame,’ which featured guest appearances by Rodney Crowell and Punch Brother Noam Pikelny. NPR said Michaela “works through weepers and hits the honky-tonks as every great country singer should,” while Rolling Stone compared her to Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, and Vice Noisey praised her as the antidote to commercial pop country, calling her “our saving grace, our angel, the person who will help usher us into a new age.” Songs from the record landed on high profile Spotify playlists as well as the HBO series ‘Divorce,’ and the album earned Michaela slots at Bristol Rhythm & Roots, Merlefest, and both the US and UK iterations of AmericanaFest, along with a seemingly endless series of dates across the States and Europe with the likes of Mandolin Orange, Courtney Marie Andrews, Joe Pug, Ron Pope, and Sam Outlaw.

Saskia Griffiths-Moore - For You

Song Of The Day: ‘For You’ - Saskia Griffiths-Moore

Recorded in the famous Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studio our LCM featured track today is the beautiful ‘For You’ by London based singer-songwriter Saskia and her backing choir of loyal fans and supporters. The track was released in partnership with London charity Music For Mental Wealth.

The session was filmed by Fieldgate Studios.

Lyrics:

If you have a home to go to, a door that's always open for you

Family and friends who know your name

Living in an ever after, spending all your time together

Knowing things will always be the same

And if you find that you've nowhere to go

All that you need is right here for you

For you, for you, for you, for you

If your past is out to get you, you're struggling to find a way through

Losing strength while fighting your way back

Take a minute to imagine, words are nothing without actions

Step away coz' opposites attract

And if you find that you've nowhere to go

All that you need is right here for you

For you, for you, for you, for you

Don't worry, you'll find it

For you, for you, for you, for you.

Daniel Rodriguez - Colorado

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Colorado’ - Daniel Rodriguez

Featuring the guest vocals of Carolyn Hunter and a special appearance by Tyrone the Dog, our featured track today is a song of homecoming. Colorado singer-songwriter, Daniel Rod­­riguez, turns to his acoustic guitar for memorable, melodic hooks to accompany his poetic and contemplative folk songs.

Daniel comments “I’ve traveled so many places in this world, from the mundane to the miraculously beautiful, but at all times I have looked forward to returning back home to Colorado. That’s what this song is about, and Jesse Borrell directed and captured this sentiment masterfully on camera for the official video for my song, ‘Colorado.’ We chased the sunlight to get both morning and evening golden hours, and took over a motel on the eastern plains to get these beautiful shots. I released the song recently as a single, though it will be part of a larger collection of songs under the album title ‘Sojourn of a Burning Sun’ coming sometime next year.”

Boulder Weekly refers to Rodriguez’s voice as “a timeless folk voice, deep and hearty, weathered but comforting.” With over a decade under his belt as one of the founding members and lead songwriters of the transcendental folk band, Elephant Revival, Rodriguez is well-versed in the Americana tour circuit. Before going on hiatus, after their third headlining Red Rocks show in May 2018, Elephant Revival had released six albums and performed countless shows and festivals across the nation as well as overseas.

Needing to fill the musical void that might have become following Elephant Revival’s hiatus announcement, Rodriguez immediately headed out on tour as a solo artist. He’s been chosen as main support for bands such as Fruition, Mandolin Orange, Josh Ritter, Birds of Chicago, and John Craigie in addition to being added to numerous festivals like Northwest String Summit, Jam Cruise, and WinterWonderGrass.

Daniel Rodriguez released his debut collection of songs as an EP titled Your Heart The Stars The Milky Way on February 15, 2019.

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Our Love Is’ - Cerian ft Robert Taira Wilson

We are thrilled to share with you the latest single released today from the wonderful London singer-songwriter and friend Cerian. We had the privilege of premiering her debut single the fantastic ‘Wasteland’ and this great new track also features the excellent Robert Taira Wilson.

Cerian comments "‘Our Love Is’ is the fourth single to be released from my upcoming EP "Caught in the Dark." In contrast to the exploration of the darkness in my previous singles, Our Love Is is a celebration of love and light. I took inspiration and quotations from the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley, and recorded this song as a duet with fellow artist Robert Taira Wilson. I wanted to keep the production on this song simple, with just acoustic piano and guitar, so that the focus of the song is the interplay of the two voices, both in harmony and unison, and the way they work together to tell the story of the lyrics."

You can catch Cerian live in London as part of the HEARD collective on December 2nd in Covent Garden and also on December 8th as part of the Joglaresa extra London Christmas Concert at St. Bartholomew-the-less.

The 1970's - Paul Mosley and the RMO

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘The 1970’s’ - Paul Mosley and The Red Meat Orchestra

Taken from his excellent new album ‘You're Going To Die!', ‘The 1970’s’ is a nostalgic look back at memories and Paul’s family life in the 1970’s. Joined by the wonderful RMO and featuring BBC2 Folk award winner Josienne Clarke, this track is in another great addition to Paul’s musical catalogue.

Paul comments “When you were young did you ever say to yourself 'I will remember this moment for ever' and try, really try to memorise everything about that 'now' to keep in your head for all time? I think I did, and I think it was when we were driving, as a family, at night, in the 1970's. My Dad, My Mam, My sister, my brothers and me. That is who we were. And now we've lost one of them and those memories have a different feel. But in a version of our life thats as real now as it was then you and you and you and you and you and me, we are family, and it will always be, the 1970s”. Me and Josienne Clarke relive those car journeys, balloons, laughs, fights, Tupperware of sandwiches, the lot.”

Lisa Wright - 500 Miles

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘500 Miles’ - Lisa Wright

We love a great cover here at LCM HQ and our next LCM featured track is a wonderfully heartfelt and stripped version of the famous #1 hit ‘500 Miles’, orginally written and performed by The Proclaimers. Lisa is one of our favourite UK Country singer-songwriters and we think this version is very special. Enjoy!

At first glance; Lisa Wright is a 5ft, blonde, Essex girl who seemingly charms her way into the audiences’ affection by cracking jokes and telling stories but then she begins to play... and the room goes silent.

Described as ‘Cam meets Patty Griffin meets John Mayer’, it's clear from your first listen that, to Lisa, lyrics mean everything. Inside Nashville called Lisa's songwriting: "intelligent, elegant and beyond her years".

With great support from BBC Introducing, Lisa was announced as one of their emerging ‘Sound of 2017s’ and subsequently was handpicked by BBC 6 to represent the BBC at Latitude Festival. 2017 saw Lisa reach over 60,000 Spotify downloads; playlists on radio including; Chris Country & Amazing Radio, and supporting artists such as; Cam, Eric Paslay Ward Thomas and Phil Vassar on their UK tours.

But, it doesn't stop there...

After she impressed the transatlantic audience with her songwriting, Lisa was championed by the Nashville Songwriters Association who announced her as their ‘One to Watch’.

With all this in mind it's understandable why Lisa has often been described as “the UKs best kept secret”, but not for long.

Blanco White - Desert Days

LCM Song Of Day: ‘Desert Days’ - Blanco White

Josh is one of our favourite London singer-songwriters. We love his blend of folk, roots and pop with a rich South American flavour. ‘Desert Days’ is his ethereal latest single. Blanco White will be headlining the wonderful Union Chapel on April 24th and it’s one not to miss. His fantastic forthcoming debut album ‘On The Other Side’ is due for release on April 3rd.

Blanco White started as the solo project of Londoner Josh Edwards in 2014. After studying guitar in Cádiz (Spain), and later the Andean instrument the charango in Sucre (Bolivia), Edwards’ aim was to begin bringing together elements of Andalusian and Latin American music alongside influences closer to home.

Between 2016 and 2017, signed to London based indie Yucatan, Blanco White released his first two EPs ‘The Wind Rose’ EP and ‘Colder Heavens’ EP. By 2018 and with the release of his third ‘Nocturne’ EP, Blanco White was selling out shows from Europe to the States, where he is currently on his third tour which will take him up to Christmas.

With every release Blanco White has gone up a gear, from the haunting acoustic sound of 2016’s The Wind Rose EP to the meatier, more expansive recent single On The Other Side, the first taste of his nearly-completed, self-produced debut album. The second, Papillon, released in September, turns the intensity up with Josh’s most mesmerising vocal to date delivering his trademark poetic lyrics.

The Tweed Project - The Devil Is In The Dust

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘The Devil Is In The Dust’ - The Tweed Project

Katey Brooks - Trouble So Hard

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Trouble So Hard’ - Katey Brooks

One of our favourite debut albums this year is excellent ‘Revolute’ by LCM favourite and friend Katey Brooks. This powerful, spiritual gospel and blues-infused track has a real classic feel. We love the striped arrangement, the reverb rich electric guitar and Katey’s wonderful vocals.

Katey will be headlining at the Green Note in London on December 17th.

Katey Brooks is a rebellious artist that resists formula. A devastating songwriting talent this ‘rising singer-songwriter had the crowd eating out of her hands’ (The Independent) and is simply ‘not to be missed’ (Time Out). The ‘powerful’ (Evening Standard) songstress defies easy classification, with a sound blending folk, soul, blues and country. Her finger-picked, harmony-inflected sound on the 2016 ’I Fought Lovers’ EP received an enthusiastic reception from radio stations around the UK and internationally, including BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and CBC Canada and her new album ‘Revolute’ was released in May 2019 to huge critical acclaim across the world. ‘Revolute’ blends soul and folk with Americana to “create something hopefully pretty different…My realm is connection and emotion, something quite raw, I think” – says Katey.

To watch her sing live is to witness emotional exorcism, but when you know her backstory, it’s hardly a mystery why. Growing up inside a cult, as a child Katey found refuge in song. Later, she travelled the world with her guitar on her back, writing everywhere from the Occupied West Bank to an abandoned Finnish island. Over a career spanning four continents, Katey has journeyed from intimate living rooms to opulent concert halls, from dive bars to decorated studios with some of music’s biggest names, boasting famous admirers like Joss Stone. She has recorded with Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones and Paloma Faith at Abbey Road for BBC Radio 2’s Children in Need single. She has shared bills with a host of big names including Newton Faulkner, Ghostpoet, Martin Simpson, Deaf Havana, Lou Rhodes (Lamb), Mike and the Mechanics, and Mystery Jets. She has played some of the world’s biggest festivals including Glastonbury, WOMAD, the 2012 Paralympics, the Cambridge Folk Festival and Australia’s National Folk Festival.

We love this new single from Cheshire based singer-songwriter Megan. It tackles a very important message, written from the perspective of a tree and the greed of the human race, ‘The Wishing Tree’ explores the hypocrisy, fascination, and destruction of the lungs of our planet….our home. This is a song for the human race. This is a warning to us all.

Chris Cleverley - In A Dreamlike State

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘In A Dreamlike State’ - Chris Cleverley

Our featured track today is the latest single from Birmingham based singer-songwriter Chris Cleverley. It’s the first single from his brand new second studio album ‘We Sat Back and Watched it Unfold ‘ set for release on November 11th. The single features a host of LCM favorites including Evan Carson, Lukas Drinkwater & Jamie Francis and it was produced by Sam Kelly. The video was produced by another talented friend Rob Bridge at Redwood Photography.

Chris will be launching his new album with his trio (Kim and Kathy) at The Green Note in Camden on November 4th.

Maybe it is Chris Cleverley’s eternally restless, whirring chasm of a mind that leads him to constantly innovate and re-imagine his unique interpretation of 21st Century Alt-folk music. With a visceral lyrical style, inspired by the American Greats Elliott Smith and Paul Simon, Chris shines a light on diverse, arresting themes from deteriorating anxious minds, via damaging gender constructs, to mystical tales of the occult. Possessing a guitar fingerstyle steeped in the lore of the UK Folk Revival, the essence of John Martyn and Nic Jones pulses through his veins. With a blistering yet delicate technique, described as ‘Impressive’ by The Telegraph, Chris is fast becoming one of the standout players on the UK Songwriting circuit.
