Imelda May is an Irish folk singer and Kris Drever is from the folk band Lau and also associated with John McCusker, so I think that there will still be a Celtic sound to some of the songs.

I expect Drover's Road to have the Folkies on it. It's also the song title (together with Tapper Man) that catches my attention most and make ne really curious.

LE

Actually Imelda May is a rockabilly singer!

Yes, she is and also is jazzy!   She plays a lot of instruments, including the bodhran.  I wonder if she will tour with MK?   :think

I thought we were done with the folkies on tour.  ;)

I won't mind the folkies if what they do is play a "Setting me up" version with a mindblowing end of duels between MK on guitar, Richard on lapsteel, John on fiddle, Mike on flute and Nigel on sax.

Far better than Marbletown!
You might get lucky, now and then

I like the new look of the page, maybe get the background a bit darker, the overall look is a bit pale.

Did anyone tried to play this?
I asked my good friend and great musician Nico Gomez to play it and this is the result.

It caught my attention the very little we are talking about the guest singers in the record

Lance Ellington
Kris Drever
Beverley Skeete
Katie Kissoon. YES, THE ONE THAT USED TO SING WITH CLAPTON (and MK in the Princes trust and Knebworth, for example)

and specially:

IMELDA MAY


I'm surprised nobody said anything, Imelda May is a great singer, really great!
Aaah, Katie @ knebworth....memories...

Blimey the 2 backing singers from Knebworth, they were great. Apparently Imelda May performed at Bill Wymans 80th Birthday. Maybe thats how she got involved with MK.

Imelda May is a big name, so I suppose she won't be just doing backing vocals...
