David A Jaycock

Tomorrow sees the release of Death Had Quicker Wings Than Love, the new album from Marry Waterson & David A Jaycock. To celebrate the release, you can listen to the album in full and read, in Marry’s own words, about the songs and the making of the album.

It’s impossible to listen to Marry Waterson without the inevitable comparison to her mother, Lal. However, this album is firm evidence that while the apple may not have fallen far from the tree, it has grown into very much its own orchard, one made all the richer by her partnership with David A. Jaycock. This is one to treasure.

Watch, Small Ways and Slowly, the new video for the lead single from Marry Waterson & David A. Jaycock’s new album Death Had Quicker Wings Than Love. Out on One Little Indian Records on 29th September.

Marry Waterson and David A Jaycock are at the top of my list when it comes to favourite folk duos, so don’t miss their tour supporting Marry’s cousin Eliza Carthy throughout November and their headline tour in February next year.

We have a video premiere to share from Marry Waterson & David A. Jaycock for their new single, ‘Digging for Diamonds’ from their highly praised ‘Two Wolves’ album which has led to two nominations in this year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Part one – Best Folk Music Albums of 2015 including: Alasdair Roberts, Anna & Elizabeth, Darren Hayman, Marry Waterson, LAU, SImpson Cutting Kerr, The Rheingans Sisters, This is the Kit, The Weather Station, Trembling Bells, Ryley Walker and more.

This coming January Scarborough Spa Theatre hosts a unique event celebrating the “grande dame” of British folk music Norma Waterson MBE along with the extended Waterson/Carthy dynasty and some very special friends and guests.

Two Wolves is a superb album, one of the year’s best, with each of its songs brimming with nuance and depth. Although covering some deeply personal subjects, Marry’s skills as a singer, lyricist and, above all, a story-teller bring a very human touch, enabling the songs to maintain their focus and intensity without overwhelming the listener.

We have a brilliant video premiere (and Song of the Day) from Marry Waterson & David A. Jaycock with ‘The Honey And The Seaweed’, from their forthcoming new album ‘Two Wolves’.

Marry Waterson returns with a brand new album made in collaboration with David A. Jaycock. Two Wolves is released on 20 November from which we have the pleasure of premiering ‘Sing Me Into Your Tune’. Listen to it here and find out more about the album.

In our final part of the Best Albums of 2013 we include the full list of all 92 Albums we chose along with the final few including: The Gentle Good, Blowzabella, RM Hubbert, Kathryn Williams & more.

Ten Songs is hailed by James Yorkston as the best album of the year so far…David A. Jaycock has crafted an album that is eerie, eclectic and often beautiful. It deserves to bring him wider acclaim.
