Title: From Here: English Folk Field Recordings (Various Artists) Artist: Various Artists Label: From Here Records Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 5056032308480 Genre: Folk Release Date: 2017-03-17 Number of Discs: 1
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release, a contemporary collection of field recordings featuring Sam Lee, Eliza Carthy, Jon Boden (Bellowhead), Martin Carthy and Spiro. Recorded on location, produced and curated by Nicola Kearey and Ian Carter, these brand new recordings offer a different way to hear some distinguished folk names alongside lesser known artists. Renowned for music that's true and unadorned, Stick In The Wheel invited the musicians to think about what From Here means to them - by way of place or geography, or as a way of exploring their musical origins - 'here's what I am, this is where I'm from'. An investigation not only of the past, but also of cultural identity; what it means to be making folk music now. "Our aim is to connect folk music to a wider audience whilst challenging the perception of what it is - here are some important artists from the scene, performing in the most traditional way possible - raw and powerful."
