Dreamers Dawn [LP]

Sam Kelly - Dreamers Dawn [LP]

Brand new studio album from BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Sam Kelly. His second album for Navigator, the first, the hugely acclaimed 'Pretty Peggy' [with The Lost Boys) in 2017. 'Dreamers Dawn' features Sam's signature eclectic arrangements of traditional folk songs, seamlessly interspersed with stunning original music from the pen of Sam and his Lost Boys band collaborator and banjo virtuoso, Jamie Francis. The album takes the listener on an eclectic journey, all the way from fantastical moonlit adventures of privateering and poaching, to introspective reflection & solemnity, as centuries old folk songs sit alongside modern themes of mental health and exploration of the inner self. Sam and Jamie have gained a reputation as one of the most innovative and important partnerships to come out of the UK folk scene in recent years, and 'Dreamers Dawn' is a suitably groundbreaking addition to their impressive portfolio. "Sam Kelly, who I just love. What a beautiful singer. He has that really rare male voice, that soft-edged tone, you know those beautiful tenor voices of the 30's and 40's...it really draws you in. Sam's absolutely great, he's going to go places."- Kate Rusby [on the 'next big thing' in fRoots magazine) "One of the best folk bands on the scene."- Seth Lakeman "Sam has such a beautiful voice and sings with so much soul. I've seen him perform live a few times and he's amazing"- Cara Dillon "Amazing, thrilling music."- Mark Radcliffe "I think this guy is absolutely brilliant… His voice is beyond sublime. One of my favourite singers ever." - Mike Harding 1. A1. The Bold Privateer A2. Dreamers Dawn A3. Gallows Pole A4. In the Cold A5. In the Dark B1. Snakes and Sermons B2. The Old Deceiver B3.
