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 Tunng Comments Of The Inner Chorus Folk | Full Time Hobby | 1LP Released 13th October 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tunng Comments Of The Inner Chorus £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH019LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Martyn Can You Discover – Best Of Live Folk | Secret Records | 3LP Released 30th September 2022 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Martyn Can You Discover – Best Of Live £30.00 Genre: Folk Label: Secret Records SKU: CRESTDLP113 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fiona MacKenzie Elevate Folk | Linn Records | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th December 2011 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fiona MacKenzie Elevate £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Linn Records SKU: AKH364 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Roky Erickson All That May Do My Rhyme Folk | Trance Syndicate Records | 1LP Released 24th June 2021 £31.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Roky Erickson All That May Do My Rhyme £31.00 Genre: Folk Label: Trance Syndicate Records SKU: nn225781 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View 5 Hand Reel Five Hand Reel Folk | Rubber Records | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations 5 Hand Reel Five Hand Reel £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rubber Records SKU: NN69723 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jim Croce I Got A Name Folk | BMG | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Croce I Got A Name £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: BMG SKU: 4050538630671 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fairport Convention What We Did On Our Holidays Folk | Proper Records | 180g, 1LP Released 30th June 2023 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Fairport Convention What We Did On Our Holidays £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Proper Records SKU: UMCLP047 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Joni Mitchell Song To A Seagul Folk | Reprise | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th February 2024 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Joni Mitchell Song To A Seagul £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Reprise SKU: nn281953 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th February 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Bob Dylan And The Folk Movement Folk | Delta | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th January 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Bob Dylan And The Folk Movement £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Delta SKU: N79001 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael Chapman True North (Indies Only) Folk | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 5th February 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael Chapman True North (Indies Only) £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB044LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
