She also embarks on a UK tour with her band and\nsupport from Matt Owens (Noah And The Whale).\nAn artist of enduring international acclaim (Bruce Springsteen regularly names\nher as a favourite) and a justly revered lyricist, Gilmore’s musical settings have\ntaken many ingenious detours in recent years. “Small World Turning” nails it’s\ncolours to a very different wall from the get-go. Acoustic guitars are back to the\nfore, and a quintessentially rootsy array of instruments frame them - fiddles,\nwhistles, mandolins, tenor banjos are all in abundance.\n“Small World Turning” is an album with an unashamed folk flavor and features\ncontributions from Cara Dillon, Seth Lakeman, Sam Lakeman, Katriona\nGilmore, Jamie Roberts and BBC Radio 2’s Young Folk Award winner 2013\nCiaran Algar.\nA gifted and exceptional artist at the peak of her powers, Thea Gilmore has\ndelivered a vibrant and deeply resonant album, rooted in folk music but\ncompletely transcending any genre related limitations.\nMoreover the engine room of the record - which contains no traditional kit\ndrums - is a stellar and diverse Transatlantic rhythm section of Matt Owens\n(Noah And The Whale) and Michael Blair (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello).\nBut “Small World Turning” is no hollow parade of the famous.\nAs is ever the case with Thea Gilmore, it’s the songs that define and dazzle, and\nthe 11 new compositions on display are a blend of melodic lilt and dark\nbrooding choruses, with lyrics that repeatedly hold up a magnifying glass to\n2019 England and impale greed, bigotry, class divide and hoarded wealth.\n“Unarguably one of the finest singer-songwriters of her generation”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Sunday Times Culture\n“The best wordsmith of her generation” - The Independent\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978198130930,"sku":"SHAMELP1","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-90416.jpg?v=1787659661","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/small-world-turning-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
