The Well Megan Reilly SKU: SAKI0051 Barcode: 789397005118 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Carrot Top Records Released Date: 14th May 2012 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info After a five year wait, the enigmatic Megan Reilly returns from our last ghostly encounter with her captivating music to present us with a new album that holds a creative leap born of great, unexpected personal transformation. 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 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 Glenn Jones The Giant Who Ate Himself And Other New Works For 6 & 12 String Guitar – Indies Only Folk | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 24th August 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Glenn Jones The Giant Who Ate Himself And Other New Works For 6 & 12 String Guitar – Indies Only £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL468LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Strawbs Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios (Live At The Queen Elizabeth Hall) Folk | A&M | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 10th April 2024 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Strawbs Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios (Live At The Queen Elizabeth Hall) £14.00 Genre: Folk Label: A&M SKU: nn284334 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 10th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Megan Henwood River Folk | Dharma | 180g, 1LP Released 27th April 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Megan Henwood River £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Dharma SKU: DHARMALP30 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Puss N' Boots Sister Americana / Country | Blue Note | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th August 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Puss N' Boots Sister £12.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Blue Note SKU: nn269867 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Eleni Mandell Dark Lights Up Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP Released 24th August 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eleni Mandell Dark Lights Up £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2444 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Unthanks, The Sorrows Away Folk | RabbleRouser Music | 2LP Released 14th October 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Unthanks, The Sorrows Away £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: RabbleRouser Music SKU: RRM024LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jess Williamson Time Ain’t Accidental Folk | Mexican Summer | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2023 £20.00 Select options Jess Williamson Time Ain’t Accidental £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Mexican Summer Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Christy Moore Live At The Point Folk | Sony Music | 180g, 1LP Released 10th April 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Christy Moore Live At The Point £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985420121 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Blowzabella A Richer Dust Folk | Plant Life | 1LP, Includes Insert Released 3rd June 2013 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Blowzabella A Richer Dust £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Plant Life SKU: NN57574 Formats: 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 3rd June 2013 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Folk Start again
