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 Punch Brothers Antifogmatic Folk | Nonesuch | 1LP, Includes CD Released 17th August 2010 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Punch Brothers Antifogmatic £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Nonesuch SKU: 7559797870 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 17th August 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sister John I Am By Day Folk | Last Night From Glasgow | 1LP Released 30th July 2021 £19.00 Select options Sister John I Am By Day £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Last Night From Glasgow Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th July 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Lou Rhodes theyesandeye Folk | nude | 1LP Released 22nd July 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lou Rhodes theyesandeye £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: nude SKU: NUDE23LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Luke Sital-Singh Time Is a Riddle Folk | Raygun | 1LP Released 12th May 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luke Sital-Singh Time Is a Riddle £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Raygun SKU: RAY031LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aoife O'Donovan Age Of Apathy Folk | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 21st January 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aoife O'Donovan Age Of Apathy £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP3010C Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Walker Second Poem To Karmela Or Gypsies Are Important Folk | Light In The Attic | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th February 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Walker Second Poem To Karmela Or Gypsies Are Important £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA113LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frokedal Hold On Dreamer Folk | Name Music | 1LP Released 26th February 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frokedal Hold On Dreamer £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Name Music SKU: NAME010LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Bellowhead Hedonism – Ltd Edition 10th Anniversary Folk | Navigator | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th December 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bellowhead Hedonism – Ltd Edition 10th Anniversary £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Navigator SKU: NAVIGATOR105LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mr. Sun Extrovert Folk | Compass | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd September 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mr. Sun Extrovert £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Compass SKU: COM47851 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Diagrams Black Light Folk | Full Time Hobby | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 14th January 2012 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Diagrams Black Light £13.00 Genre: Folk Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH129LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th January 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
