Martin Simpson – Skydancers The new album - out 12 April 2024 on Topic Records

Martin Simpson – Skydancers The new album - out 12 April 2024 on Topic Records

Topic Record report that Martin Simpson is not a man to sit still for very long.  Undoubtedly one of the hardest-touring musicians on the UK folk/roots circuit, he also averages a brand-new studio album almost every two years. ‘Skydancers,’ his 12th full length solo record for Topic since 1992, comes hot on the heels of last year's guest-packed collaboration with the American producer/guitarist, Thomm Jutz, ‘Nothing But Green Willow: The Songs of Mary Sands and Jane Gentry.’
 
Recorded by Tom Wright and Andy Bell in Simpson's hometown of Sheffield, ‘Skydancers’ collects new, Simpson-penned originals alongside 18th century broadside ballads and reverent reworkings from the songbooks of, amongst others, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Woody Guthrie, Nancy Kerr, June Tabor and Craig Johnson.
 
Skydancers' title track, commissioned by TV presenter and naturalist, Chris Packham, highlights the plight of the endangered Hen Harrier – ornithology, a keen interest of Simpson's.  Elsewhere he narrates the life and times of Billy Waters, a black, peg-legged man who became famous busking in London in the nineteenth century.  'Roger's Cascade' is a very personal, jaunty, 5-string banjo homage to master instrument craftsman, Roger Bucknall

Simpson is joined on ‘Skydancers’ by American pedal steel maestro, Greg Leisz, Andy Cutting on diatonic accordion, Louis Campbell on acoustic and electric guitar, Liz Hanks on cello, Ben Nicholls on string bass and a bevy of accompanying singers.   ‘Skydancers’ will be available as a double CD, vinyl album and to download/stream.  Those pre-ordering from Propermusic.com (only) will also receive a limited edition ‘Skydancers’ guitar pick and signed postcard.    Tracklisting :

 

CD1 & Vinyl 1. Skydancers      2. New Harmony  3. Alan Tyne Of Harrow    4. Tom Sherman's Barroom          5. Lowlands/Billy Waters  6. Roger's Cascade 7. Fragile Water   8.
