CD Reviews

Kris Drever - The Best Of (REVEAL 193CDX)

The Best of Kris Drever is a 36 track double album and includes a wide variety of his popular material and some new songs. The new ones include Catterline, which was released as a single in March, Punch Bag and Dust in Light. The best of material includes Black Water, If Wishes Were horses and Where the World is Thin. Kris performs the majority of the songs himself but there are a few from Lau and there is a selection of talented guest artists such as John McCusker, Megan Henderson and Boo Hewerdine. The package includes a booklet with details of the songs and a selection of photos. While I cannot fault the music and performances, the design of the booklet left me struggling to distinguish the print from the background colour and to read the exceptionally small print. Just to mention a few more the other tracks include Butcher Boy and Unquiet Grave from Lau and When the Shouting is Over with Boo. Kris is touring throughout June but unfortunately the nearest he comes to our area is Union Chapel in London on 13th June so if you cannot get there you need to buy this album.

Jon Wilks - Before I Knew What Had Begun I Had Already Lost (Self release)

This is Jon’s fourth solo album and the 12 tracks include are mainly traditional songs such as Johnny Sands, Haymaking Song, Lofty Tall Ships and The Old Miner. There are three of Jon’s own compositions, Tape Machine, Greek Street and Banjo Therapy. Jon plays guitar and sings the lead vocals and on the final track plays a banjo given to him by Martin Simpson. There is also a John Spier and Jackie Oates instrumental, Gallons of Brandy / Fox Tell that Jon learnt from John Spiers. On some tracks

Jon is accompanied by Lukas Drinkwater on double bass, Tom Gregory on percussion, Jackie Oates on viola and backing vocals, Jon Nice on keyboards and electric guitar. Jon and Jackie have recently started to perform as a duo. I’ve never had the pleasure to see Jon live but this album will definitely encourage me to try to do so.
