It’s been a long time coming, but… That eponymous first album was only ever intended as a one-off collaborative project — a serendipitous series of events which began with a late evening session where the trio wrote ‘Hate Won’t Win’. A response to the murder of MP Jo Cox, it was something of a fresh take on Crosby Stills Nash and Young’s classic protest song ‘Ohio’. The release saw Bennett Wilson Poole embraced by the Americana community, playing live on the Andrew Marr show and crowned as ‘UK Artist of the Year’ at the 2019 UK Americana Awards, in front of a watching crowd including Graham Nash himself. The new album came together in similar fashion; Robin (Bennett) and Danny (Wilson) started writing new songs late into the night whilst on tour to promote the first record — a tour which unfolded from a three-night residency in a London pub into a year-long odyssey culminating in a headline show in Hall One at King’s Place — and before they knew it, there were enough songs to begin recording an unplanned second album. Where the first record drank deep from 70s US west coast folk-rock, the second has been heavily spiked with 1960s British psychedelia, even featuring a cover by legendary counterculture artist John Hurford (whose credits include 60s artwork for Oz Magazine and International Times).* Tony Poole’s meticulous and inspired production has spun Robin and Danny’s fresh batch of songs into a delicate web of musical delight. Fans of the ‘spot the reference’ game Tony started on the first record won’t be disappointed this time either, as there are plenty more to be found here. As with the first album, the lyrics don’t shy away from current affairs – by the end of that year of touring, the band were already playing “I Wanna Love You (But I Can’t Right Now)”, reflecting on the state of US politics, yet optimistic that the problems are only temporary. Many of the tracks on the new album feature live rhythm section Fin Kenny (drums) and Joe Bennett (bass) for the first time on a BWP record. The title of the album comes from the lyrics of ‘Help Me See My Way’, the first single, a prayer for strength in difficult times, the trippy animated video for which was originally issued during lockdown. The dreamy positivity of the line “I saw a star behind your eyes” is tempered with the plea “don’t let it die away”, a message which feels as important as ever two years on. All three collaborators have had critical acclaim in their own right. Danny Wilson’s credentials go back to his days in Grand Drive with brother Julian, and his consistent high calibre output with his Champions of the World led them to sweeping the board at the first UK Americana Awards with Album, Artist and Song of the year awards richly deserved; Tony Poole’s Starry Eyed and Laughing were hailed as “the English Byrds” on the back of their two CBS-released albums in the mid-seventies and he has since built an enviable reputation as producer and engineer; Robin Bennett has been relentlessly turning out timeless songs from his Oxfordshire base in bands from Goldrush to The Dreaming Spires Artist Bennett Wilson Poole Genre Americana / Country Label BWP Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings I Saw Love Waiting For The Wave To Break I Wanna Love You (But I Can’t Right Now Help Me See My Way Cry At The Movies Ready To Serve Yvonne Heart Songs Tie-Dye T-Shirt The Sea And The Shore Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Bennett Wilson Poole and more from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Bennett Wilson Poole Bennett Wilson Poole Americana / Country | Aurora | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th April 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bennett Wilson Poole Bennett Wilson Poole £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Aurora SKU: AURLP21 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Cash Live from Austin TX Americana / Country | New West | 180g, 1LP Released 21st February 2012 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Cash Live from Austin TX £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: New West SKU: NW5045 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sons of Bill Love and Logic Americana / Country | Gray Fox | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th January 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sons of Bill Love and Logic £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Gray Fox SKU: GF0051 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Mastersons, The No Time For Love Songs Americana / Country | Red House Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st September 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Mastersons, The No Time For Love Songs £12.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Red House Records SKU: nn272262 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Shania Twain Greatest Hits – Summer Tour Edition 2024 Americana / Country | UMR | 1LP Released 28th June 2024 £24.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Shania Twain Greatest Hits – Summer Tour Edition 2024 £24.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: UMR SKU: 6564663 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dwight Yoakam Hillbilly Deluxe Americana / Country | Rhino Warner | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th June 2024 £33.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Dwight Yoakam Hillbilly Deluxe £33.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Rhino Warner SKU: 0603497828968 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Josh Rouse Dressed Up Like Nebraska Americana / Country | Runout Groove | 180g, 2LP Released 13th September 2019 £47.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Josh Rouse Dressed Up Like Nebraska £47.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Runout Groove SKU: 0081227911546 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 13th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Beating On The Bars : Twisted Tales From The Vinyl Wastelands Vol 2 Americana / Country | Trailer Park Records | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd January 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Beating On The Bars : Twisted Tales From The Vinyl Wastelands Vol 2 £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Trailer Park Records SKU: TPR5502LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Lauderdale Game Changer Americana / Country | Sky Crunch Records | 1LP Released 3rd March 2023 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Lauderdale Game Changer £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Sky Crunch Records SKU: SKY0023 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Cat Mother And The All Night Newsboys Albion Doo-Wah… Americana / Country | Polydor | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 8th November 2022 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cat Mother And The All Night Newsboys Albion Doo-Wah… £8.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Polydor SKU: nn253055 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 8th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Moreland Live at Third Man Records Americana / Country | Third Man Records | 1LP Released 10th November 2023 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Moreland Live at Third Man Records £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Third Man Records SKU: TMR895V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Americana / Country Start again
