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 Chieftains Chronicles: 60 Years of The Chieftains Folk | Universal Classics & Jazz | 2LP Released 12th November 2021 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chieftains Chronicles: 60 Years of The Chieftains £30.00 Genre: Folk Label: Universal Classics & Jazz SKU: 3856360 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oysterband Holy Bandits Folk | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP Released 27th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oysterband Holy Bandits £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP682 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jackson C Frank My Name is Carnival Folk | Mooncrest | 1LP Released 29th September 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jackson C Frank My Name is Carnival £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Mooncrest SKU: CRESTLP119 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marry Waterson & Emily Barker A Window To Other Ways Folk | One Little Independent | 1LP Released 27th March 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marry Waterson & Emily Barker A Window To Other Ways £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1482 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th March 2019 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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Jack The Lad The Old Straight Track Folk | Charisma | 1LP Released 24th March 2022 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jack The Lad The Old Straight Track £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Charisma SKU: nn239400 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th March 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Squirrel Flower Planet (i) Folk | Full Time Hobby | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th June 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Squirrel Flower Planet (i) £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH410LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dawg Yawp Dawg Yawp Electronica | Old Flame Records | 1LP Released 21st April 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dawg Yawp Dawg Yawp £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Old Flame Records SKU: LPOFR103 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View State Ensemble For Traditional Songs And Dances Cond.
