All The Ghosts - Plak

ENGLISH

Gwyneth Herbert, whose sublime version of Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' appeared on the soundtrack to 2009 Rom-Com smash 'Leap Year' has been hailed as a priceless talent. A quirky, original singer-songwriter, inspired as much by Janis Ian and Joni Mitchell, as by Billie Holliday or Nina Simone. Her latest collection, 'All The Ghosts' features ten terrific songs, which speak to you directly, without forethought for genre or category. In their melodic immediacy and observational characterization, you might hear the Lennon-McCartney of 'Sgt Pepper', or the Ray Davies of 'Lola', rather than any jazz stereotype. Expect witty, captivating vignettes populated by a living, breathing cast of beaten-down dreamers, jaded city-dwellers, and women in a quandary. 'All The Ghosts', Naim's biggest selling record of last year, is now available on beautifully packaged 180gm virgin vinyl, remastered from Hi Def and cut at the world famous Abbey Road Studios, complete with bonus material in the form of a minimal version of new composition 'Perfect Fit' and David Bowie's 'Rock n' Roll Suicide'. Recording: 2009 at Real World Studios, Wiltshire (UK), by Robin Baynton Production: Gwyneth Herbert
