Graham Coxon Crow Sit on Blood Tree

Originally released in 2001, Graham's third solo album, Crow Sit On Blood Tree, found him stretching his wings as a songwriter. While the likes of 'Burn It Down' and 'You Will Never Be' buzzed with the same noisy alt-rock energy he'd brought to bear on iconic Blur tracks such as 'Song 2', on the record's gentler moments, such as 'All Has Gone' and 'Thank God For The Rain', he showed he could also master the delicate acoustic folk of Nick Drake and Bert Jansch. "There's absolute mayhem on that at times, but there's quiet songs, too," Graham says of the record, which was recorded, mixed and mastered in just two weeks. "I was still exploring different music and what I could do. I'll turn my hand to so many different types of music if it feels natural." Available again as part of a comprehensive reissue of Coxon's solo catalogue on Transgressive. Follows his first wave of reissues in June, which included the critically acclaimed unreleased studio album Castle Park (reached #6 on the OCC Independent Chart). 5-date UK tour in November including SOLD OUT Kentish Town Forum
