| Description: | Das nächste Album von Martin Simpson sollte ein Live-Album werden. Aber der Lockdown machte ihm einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Dennoch hat diese Wolke einen Silberstreif am Horizont. Und was für ein Silberstreif am Horizont.
Da er nicht vor einem Publikum spielen (Martin absolviert im Durchschnitt über 100 Auftritte pro Jahr) oder in ein Aufnahmestudio gehen konnte, war die einzige Lösung, ein neues Album zu Hause aufzunehmen. Wäre da nicht die Schar von Gänsen, die über die Bühne fliegen (man kann sie auf "Lonesome Valley Geese" hören), und die Vögel, die fröhlich auf dem letzten Stück zwitschern, wüssten Sie vielleicht nicht, dass dies kein Studioalbum ist. Aufgenommen von seinem regulären Produzenten, dem heutigen Nachbarn Andy Bell, findet der treffend benannte "Home Recordings" Martin singend und spielend buchstäblich in seiner geliebten Gitarren- und Banjosammlung und drau�en auf seiner dem Peak District zugewandten Veranda.
Zu "Home Recordings" gehören herausragende Aufnahmen von Lyle Lovetts "Family Re-serve" (von seinem 1992er Album "Joshua Judges Ruth"), John Prines "Angel From Montgomery" (von seinem 1971er Debütalbum), Robin Williamsons "October Song" (vom gleichnamigen Debütalbum der Incredible String Band aus dem Jahr 1966) und natürlich Bob Dylans "These Times, They Are A-Changin", das in der heutigen Zeit besonders passend klingt.
Martin Simpson wird übereinstimmend als einer der besten Akustik-, Fingerstyle- und Slide-Gitarrenspieler der Welt bezeichnet und ist mit bemerkenswerten 31 Nicken der am meisten nominierte Musiker in der Geschichte der BBC Folk Awards. Ein wahrer Meister seiner Kunst. - Recorded in Sheffield between March 22nd and July 30th 2020 - Main tracks recorded July 27-30"Home Recordings" on CD is an intimate collection of performances by acclaimed guitarist and singer Martin Simpson, released by the respected folk label Topic. Recorded in a home setting, these tracks capture Simpson's playing and singing in a warm, unvarnished atmosphere, allowing every nuance of his distinctive acoustic guitar work and expressive vocal delivery to shine. The album presents a blend of traditional material, contemporary songs and instrumentals, all interpreted with the subtlety, emotional depth and technical mastery that have made Simpson one of the most admired figures in modern folk and roots music.
The focus of "Home Recordings" is on closeness and authenticity: you hear the creak of the guitar, the space of the room, and the sense that Simpson is playing just for you. His arrangements highlight his hallmark fingerstyle technique, open tunings and slide work, while his storytelling and song choices reflect themes of memory, landscape, and everyday lives. This CD is ideal for listeners who appreciate finely detailed acoustic sound, thoughtful interpretations of folk repertoire and a quiet, reflective listening experience.
Martin Simpson has long been regarded as one of the finest acoustic guitarists of his generation in the British folk scene, equally respected for his solo work and his collaborations. Over the course of many decades, he has released numerous solo albums that have drawn critical praise and a loyal audience, and he has been a frequent presence on the folk club and festival circuit. His career is marked by a rare consistency of quality and a continuing curiosity that leads him to re-explore traditional material while integrating his own distinctive voice and style. "Home Recordings" fits into this trajectory as a mature, personal snapshot of an artist at ease with his craft.
The CD is issued by Topic, one of the most influential and long-standing labels in the field of folk and traditional music. Topic has played a central role in documenting and disseminating British and related folk traditions, working with many significant artists over the years and building a catalogue that is highly regarded by collectors, musicians and scholars alike. With "Home Recordings", Topic once again underlines its commitment to high-quality, artist-centred productions that value authenticity, musical depth and careful sound presentation. |
