Today sees the release of John Doyle’s new album ‘The path of Stones’ via Compass Records. Last week, Johnny Whalley reviewed the album for Folk Radio and concluded:
It’s been a long wait since John’s last solo album, nine years, but he’s hardly been idle in the interim, so there’s no real cause for complaint. Especially now that we can bask in the delights of an album that delivers just about everything one could have hoped for. Excellent musicianship, not just from John, but also from a perfectly assembled cast of guests, abundant evidence that John’s song writing is maturing as steadily and assuredly as a cask of Jameson’s 18 Years and an album that mixes songs and tunes into a heady cocktail that leaves you with a warm, self-satisfied glow. And, yes, all of that imagery came from repeatedly listening to The Path of Stones while stone-cold sober. Read the full review here.
To celebrate its release, we have a special session from John which he put together while in lockdown. First up is Elevenses…
