Working with Paul Weller as producer and co-writer on his 5th studio album, Liverpool troubadour Steve Pilgrim releases the achingly melancholic “Beautiful Blue” on Ltd Vinyl and CD. The album features Paul Weller, Steve Craddock and Rachael Jean Harris with string arrangements from Hannah Peel. “Stevie, I’ve got this idea I thought might be good for you…” A text from Paul Weller was the only inspiration Steve Pilgrim needed to finish the writing of his much-anticipated sixth album ‘Beautiful Blue’ Acclaimed songwriter Steve Pilgrim, who has played drums and sung with living legend Paul Weller for more than a decade, was in the middle of writing the songs of his life when a modern catalyst arrived. Pilgrim was reaching for humanity, humility and sanity in a fouled and confused pre-pandemic world of cultural unrest and rising extremism when the audio note landed (“Stevie, I’ve got this idea I thought might be good for you…”) and set the scene for Pilgrim’s progress. “It was pre-pandemic, but still a time of political and cultural unrest in the UK: Brexit, austerity, the rise of extremism in various forms. It felt as a country we were being divided, pulled-apart… atomised. In the midst of this unrest and disquiet – as people, individuals, families, as humans – there was a sense of loss of direction and I felt it was important to break through to the other side with some semblance of positivity and hope. That’s how these songs started: to start making sense of becoming a functioning human in a dysfunctional country.” That’s how they started, but it was the text from Weller that helped bring them together for critically-acclaimed songsmith Pilgrim. These sketches of songs, melodies and chord progressions became the beginning of a co-writing direction for Pilgrim/Weller and took the material to a new place, tugging and pushing the softly-spoken Scouser in new ways that only Weller could provoke. Tunes such as ‘Test of Faith’, ‘Don’t Let The Mirror Break You’, ‘One With All’, ‘Universe’ and ‘Where Our Love Goes’ have echoes of Pilgrim’s previous work, but add a warmth and classicism found in his co-writer’s celebrated ‘True Meanings’ record. “By the time the pandemic arrived in 2020 the songs were ready and Paul suggested we start recording the album at his studio in Woking. With the assistance of house engineer and sonic wizard Charles Rees, within three days we had the bulk of the record done. We had ‘Beautiful Blue’ and everything was going to be ok.” With the aural assistance of string arrangements from the renowned Hannah Peel, ‘Beautiful Blue’ is the work of an artist who finds strength in still life and shouts loudest when whispering. The songs on this album are streamlined, lacking fat and offer intricate acoustic guitar playing weaving in and out of memorable melodies (‘New Sky’), undulating strings (the gorgeous title track) and devastatingly delicate vocal harmonies (‘Everyday’). “This set of songs took a while to complete as I wanted to impose thematic constraints on my writing. I knew it was important to stay focused and that’s when the message from Paul arrived. What an honour. The songs might now be written, but they couldn’t be realised without listeners… it would be great to see you at a gig.” Artist Steve Pilgrim Genre Rock And Pop Label Muddy Leaf Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1 New Sky 2 Lifeboat 3 Beautiful Blue 4 Test Of Faith 5 Bread And Honey 6 Whistle In The Wind 7 Don’t Let The Mirror Break You 8 One With All 9 Universe 10 Olive 11 Where Our Love Goes 12 Everyday Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View White Stripes, The Elephant Rock And Pop | Sony | 180g, 2LP Released 21st January 2022 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders White Stripes, The Elephant £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony SKU: 19439842401 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 21st January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Katy Perry Teenage Dream – 13th Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | EMI | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th October 2023 £35.00 Select options Katy Perry Teenage Dream – 13th Anniversary Edition £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Conveyor Ready Not Ready Rock And Pop | Gold Robot Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 19th August 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Conveyor Ready Not Ready £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Gold Robot Records SKU: GRR043LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Jehnny Beth To Live Is To Love Rock And Pop | Caroline | 1LP Released 12th June 2020 £13.99 - £19.00 £19.00 Select options Jehnny Beth To Live Is To Love £13.99 - £19.00 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Caroline Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Select options Nearly New View Product Quick View Thin Lizzy BBC Radio One Live In Concert Rock And Pop | Windsong International | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th May 2023 £185.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Thin Lizzy BBC Radio One Live In Concert £185.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Windsong International SKU: nn262932 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th May 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mother Earth You Have Been Watching Rock And Pop | Acid Jazz | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th May 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mother Earth You Have Been Watching £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Acid Jazz SKU: AJXLP581L Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View My Morning Jacket My Morning Jacket Rock And Pop | ATO | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 22nd October 2021 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders My Morning Jacket My Morning Jacket £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: ATO SKU: ATO0573 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Graeme Miller & Steve Shill The Moomins Rock And Pop | Finders Keepers | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 31st January 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graeme Miller & Steve Shill The Moomins £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Finders Keepers SKU: FKR090LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 31st January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eisley Combinations Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd February 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eisley Combinations £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3206 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kelis Food Rock And Pop | Ninja Tune | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 17th April 2014 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kelis Food £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ninja Tune SKU: ZEN205 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
