Some say this British singer/songwriter is the greatest lyricists of our
generation, so why havent more folks heard of Thea
Gilmore?
With eight studio albums under her belt (she recorded her first at 18,
and is just shy of 30) her latest offering, Liejacker
is laced with exotic instruments from ukuleles to mandolins and lyrics
that are more reflective than ever.
Question…what do two years, three harmoniums, a chimney hood, a grill
pan, the birth of a child, a bout of depression, a 20th century folk
music icon and a loft in Liverpool have in common? Answer…they make up
the story of Liejacker, Gilmore writes on her blog.
Joan Baez is the music icon in question, who with Leonard Cohen, Tom
Waits, Paul Westerberg, Neil Young and Elvis Costello, is a huge
influence.
Time to listen up.
Liejacker is available at Chapters Indigo
