James Allsopp has, over the last 20 years, performed with and recorded for an incredibly diverse range of artists including The Last Poets, Dr John, Polar Bear, Jamie Cullum, and Nostalgia 77. This album brings together elements of his favorite music; from Krautrock to soul jazz, Pakistani and Colombian devotional music to desert blues. This is joyous, life affirming music. Deceptively simple, deeply melodic with a healthy dose of the other worldly.Tracklisting:A1. YewA2. Stars and SandA3. SlinkyA4. GravityB1. OrugoruB2. TinctureB3.
