In The Furrows Of Common Place Jim Ghedi SKU: BR010LP Barcode: 5060168042873 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Basin Rock Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info “Instead of landscape sketches I wanted to go into more personal areas of my reality,” says Jim Ghedi of his third album In The Furrows Of Common Place. “To hold up certain aspects of society that were laying bare in front of me.” Whilst Ghedi’s previous idiosyncratic take on folk has often been instrumental, exploring the natural world and his relationship to it through his music as seen on 2018’s A Hymn For Ancient Land. His new album In The Furrow Of Common Place is a deeper plunge inside himself to offer up more of his voice to accompany his profoundly unique and moving compositions. “There were things I was seeing around me and being affected by in my daily life,” he says. “Socially and politically I saw defiance but also hopelessness. I wanted to be honest with the frustration and turmoil I was experiencing.” The decision to include more of Ghedi’s vocals was a conscious one and driven by a need to say something. However, this isn’t a brash raging political polemic. As is now customary with Ghedi’s work, it is rich in nuance, history, poetry and allegory. Musically, the album is equally locked into this ongoing sense of evolution. Ghedi’s intricate yet deft guitar playing still twists and flows its way through the core, weaving in and out of gliding double bass, sweeping violin, gentle percussion and vocals that shift from tender solos to overlapping harmonies. As with much of Ghedi’s work, there’s a rich connection between the past and the current. Musically, he continues to sit in a singular position of sounding distinctly contemporary yet also with a touch of traditional flair. This expands itself into the lyrical terrain here too. “I’ve been exploring contemporary issues and in that process discovering sources that correlate with similar issues in the past,” he says. “Which proves that these issues throughout history – environmental destruction, working class poverty etc – are ongoing.” For all the socio-political and historical backdrop to the record it is not one that feels overwhelmed by it. Much like Ghedi’s work when it was largely instrumental – and some of it still is here – it flows and unfurls thoughtfully, with space still being utilised masterfully, creating room to pause and reflect. It’s another inimitable record from an artist that truly sounds like nobody else right now. “Melodically sublime… although Ghedi’s music is infused with tradition, it’s very much experiencing the present” **** MOJO 4/5 The i : “A raga -like texture of tingling drones and jaunty picking” “The melancholy majesty and sense of contemplative awe that permeates much of A Hymn for Ancient Land – which deserves to replicate the recent success of Ghedi’s Basin Rock label mates Nadia Reid and Julie Byrne – really only sound like itself.” 8/10 thelineofbestfit “a brilliant finger-picker and songwriter” 4/5 Q “There’s respect here, but no folkloric nostalgia…..a delightful hybrid strain” 7/10 – Uncut Artist Jim Ghedi Genre Folk Label Basin Rock Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Common Thread The Lamentations of Round Oak Waters Mytholm Stolen Ground Ah Cud Hew Beneath The Willow Beneath The Willow Part II Son David Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Tall Heights Pretty Colors For Your Actions Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th October 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tall Heights Pretty Colors For Your Actions £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2273C Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rose Elinor Dougall A New Illusion Folk | Vermilion | 1LP Released 5th April 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rose Elinor Dougall A New Illusion £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Vermilion SKU: VERMLP8 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Hedgehog Pie Just Act Normal Folk | Rubber Records | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £15.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Hedgehog Pie Just Act Normal £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rubber Records SKU: NN70046 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Charlie Parr Stumpjumper Americana / Country | Red House | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th April 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parr Stumpjumper £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Red House SKU: RHRLP283 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Devil Makes Three, The I’m A Stranger Here Folk | TDM3 LLC DBA KAHN RECORDS FSO THE DEVIL MAKES THREE | 1LP Released 27th August 2021 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Devil Makes Three, The I’m A Stranger Here £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: TDM3 LLC DBA KAHN RECORDS FSO THE DEVIL MAKES THREE SKU: KAHNLP04 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Smith Hummingbird Folk | Commoner Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th October 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Smith Hummingbird £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Commoner Records SKU: COMM011 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Karine Polwart Karine Polwart’s Scottish Songbook Folk | Hegri Music | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 2nd August 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Karine Polwart Karine Polwart’s Scottish Songbook £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Hegri Music SKU: HEGRILP11 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Case Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John (15th Anniversary Edition) Folk | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 18th November 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Case Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John (15th Anniversary Edition) £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2160 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Builders And The Butchers, The The Spark Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Badman | 1LP Released 9th June 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Builders And The Butchers, The The Spark £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Badman SKU: BRC911 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mary Chapin Carpenter Sometimes Just the Sky Americana / Country | Lambent Light Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th June 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mary Chapin Carpenter Sometimes Just the Sky £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Lambent Light Records SKU: LLR0021 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
