Megan\’s countrified Memphis roots and subsequent New York City escape still underpin her music, music which resounds with her \”delightful combination of vulnerability and Southern grace\” (Dallas Observer). But The Well holds a treasure chest of surprises. Megan\’s country-tinged coo and warble can still turn on a dime to a hair-raising growl. For the first time, though, her musical tone and lyrical focus at times portray an urgent sense of hope wrought by love. Shockingly to all, not the least Megan Reilly, it is love that spawns her greatest work: \”To Seal My Love.\” It is a plaintive lullaby quickly shifting gears into roaring, triumphant, anthemic majesty that fully envelopes, overwhelms, and warms. During her hiatus, Megan had a child, moved out of New York, learned to bake and quilt, and became fully domesticated. Fear not. She hasn\’t gone soft or forgotten how to write the songs that captured our hearts in the first place. A rich and carefully chosen metaphor, The Well can be a deep place of impenetrable darkness, fear, and mystery, a place that does not relinquish its visitors. In these depths, Megan Reilly again bravely faces off with the specter of existential darkness. With her band of aces, Steven Goulding (d-Mekons), James Mastro (g-Health and Happiness Show, Bongos), and Tony Maimone (b-Pere Ubu), Megan still conjures an enveloping cross between emotive Irish fatalism and Southern Gothic macabre. She still comfortably camps in these darkest of corners. “The Lady of Leitrim,” filled with Lenny Kaye’s (Patti Smith Group) singularly ethereal riffs, haunts us long after The Lady disappears, and as an arrow punctures Megan’s heart, her little “Little Angel” flies away before its time. But her surprising cover of Iris Dement’s plaintive “After You’re Gone\” portends new directions. Upon this song’s foundation of pain, Megan finds the strength to face Death\’s sting and still hold onto love. Following her long dark night of the soul, no one was more surprised than Megan to find that The Well is simultaneously a place of creativity and redemption. The Well\’s resident muse offers up blindingly beautiful gems like her obliquely enigmatic “To Seal My Love,\” that again delivers Lenny Kaye’s indispensable shimmer. Maybe old friend like John Wesley Harding receives his own visit from the The Well\’s muse and is handed an earworm of a duet, “Old Man and the Bird.” Once discovered, the muse of The Well can lead you out the darkness once and for all. With a languid sense of melody and a throaty soprano cloaked in mystique…Reilly exudes southern gothicism at nearly every turn…- No Depression A moodily electrifying Folk Pop gem, shimmered with a quiet intensity at the intersection of Emmylou Harris and Nick Drake…Let Your Ghost Go is another stunning triumph. – Cincinnati City Beat \”Jaw-dropping.\”-Maxim Artist Megan Reilly Genre Folk Label Carrot Top Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Luluc Diamonds Folk | Community Music | 1LP Released 15th September 2023 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Luluc Diamonds £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Community Music SKU: CMG060 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Suitcase Junket, The Pile Driver Blues | Signature Sounds | 1LP Released 21st April 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Suitcase Junket, The Pile Driver £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Signature Sounds SKU: LPSIG7022 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael Chapman The Polar Bear Folk | Blast First | 1LP Released 11th February 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael Chapman The Polar Bear £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Blast First SKU: PTYT078 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Trembling Bells The Constant Pageant Folk | Honest Jon's | 1LP Released 18th March 2011 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trembling Bells The Constant Pageant £13.00 Genre: Folk Label: Honest Jon's SKU: HJRLP55 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th March 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Croce Title: Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits Folk | BMG | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Croce Title: Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: BMG SKU: 4050538630442 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bert Jansch It Dont Bother Me Folk | Sanctuary | 1LP Released 9th October 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bert Jansch It Dont Bother Me £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sanctuary SKU: 5414939921476 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tim Buckley Greetings From West Hollywood Folk | Manifesto | 2LP Released 4th October 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Buckley Greetings From West Hollywood £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Manifesto SKU: MFO40711 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Martyn Joseph 1960 Folk | Pipe Records | 1LP Released 2nd September 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martyn Joseph 1960 £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Pipe Records SKU: PVR034 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ray Cooper Between The Golden Age & The Promised Land Folk | Westpark | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ray Cooper Between The Golden Age & The Promised Land £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Westpark SKU: 87372 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jack Rose Luck In The Valley Folk | Thrill Jockey | 1LP Released 24th August 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jack Rose Luck In The Valley £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL229LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
