There’s some fabulous stuff being released by UK country artists at present, and Elaine Palmer is right at the forefront. Her latest is a mid-pace exploration of the creative arts, and the worlds that artists create, and how we like to tumble into them. The melody is just beautiful with Palmer playing various instruments including guitar, Hammond organ and piano. Does it help that her vocals have a Stevie Nicks like vibe? Hell, yeah! (Note: She’s playing Cluny 2 on 28 May.) DP
