Listen to Black-Haired Québécoise, one of two previously unreleased tracks featured on the forthcoming ‘Best Of’ compilation from Two-time Grammy Award winners and Grand Ole Opry members Old Crow Medicine Show.

With tickets selling fast for Johnny Flynn’s UK tour he also shares a new video for ‘Reaching The Dead,’ the first in a series of videos to go with the album Sillion, a collaboration between director Simon Ryninks, Johnny, and the London-based documentary and portrait photographer Hanna-Katrina Jedrosz.

Six years on from Abigail Lapell’s debut, Hide nor Hair is a calming 10-song collection of fine-spun folk songs, as much about mood as it is about storytelling. A departure from her earlier efforts, she possesses a persuasive voice, bearing echoes of many of the greats.

It takes quite a performer to move a packed auditorium from a hand clapping, foot-stomping frenzy to a rapt, silent hush on the turn of a sixpence. Tommy Emmanuel, though, with his mix of guitar and people skills, is the very man for the job. An outright charmer.

Raphael Doyle, a founding member of Café Society, returns to record a definitive album with the support of Tom Robinson, his son and Gerry Diver. A truly excellent piece of work from a man who finally found the self-confidence to believe in himself and the music he makes. We are all the richer for it.

Last year, Robert Vincent became the first recipient of the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award for the UK Americana Music Association. On the evidence here, he’ll be needing more room in the trophy cabinet.
