Jeff Lang - Half Seas Over
16 May 2008
With his eloquent guitar, sweet voice and plainspoken yet sensitive approach to the original and traditional source material, Jeff Lang is expanding the boundaries of traditional folk, country and blues to create a new brand of nontraditional music which is undeniably and deeply steeped in tradition, yet with its imagination set on future horizons.
This powerful and hypnotic recording draws deeply on folk sources – the old, unsettling gothic tales that have passed from musician to musician from century to century – and the simple but compelling sound of acoustic guitar with minimal accompaniment to express the deeper resonances beneath the stories.
Jeff will be touring nationally through May & June to support this release with blues/folk singer songwriter Kara Grainger, in support of her debut solo album, “Grand & Green River”.
