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 Serious Child Time In The Trees Folk | Four Left Feet | 1LP Released 24th April 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Serious Child Time In The Trees £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Four Left Feet SKU: FLFR10101LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elliott Fullam End of Ways Folk | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th October 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elliott Fullam End of Ways £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS787C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frightened Rabbit Pedestrian Verse Folk | Atlantic | 1LP Released 22nd April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frightened Rabbit Pedestrian Verse £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Atlantic SKU: 0190296350542 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rory Gallagher Wheels Within Wheels Blues | UMC | 1LP Released 4th July 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rory Gallagher Wheels Within Wheels £18.00 Genre: Blues Label: UMC SKU: 6746984 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fugitives, The Everything Will Happen Folk | Light Organ Records | 1LP Released 14th July 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fugitives, The Everything Will Happen £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Light Organ Records SKU: 2539606572 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View William Fitzsimmons Covers, Vol. 2 Folk | Groenland Records | 1LP Released 11th August 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders William Fitzsimmons Covers, Vol. 2 £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Groenland Records SKU: LPGRON281 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Kipper Family, The The Ever Decreasing Circle Folk | Dambuster | 1LP Released 12th August 2014 £5.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Kipper Family, The The Ever Decreasing Circle £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: Dambuster SKU: NN71039 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th August 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Robbie Basho Venus In Cancer Folk | Traffic Entertainment | 1LP Released 16th November 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robbie Basho Venus In Cancer £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: Traffic Entertainment SKU: TEG74008LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View John Kirkpatrick Three In A Row Folk | Topic Records | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations John Kirkpatrick Three In A Row £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Topic Records SKU: NN70108 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mick Flannery Red To Blue Folk | UMR | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th November 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mick Flannery Red To Blue £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: UMR SKU: 4578955 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
