 Over three albums of flinty grace: Moving Up Country (2002) Just Beyond The River (2004) & The Year Of The Leopard (2006) Yorkston has established a canon as singular and intimate as any current songwriter. Roaring The Gospel is a collection that complements the diffuse and tender tone of the studio albums with a slightly more open and ramshackle feel. This collection is a welcome rattle bag of laments, cover versions and traditionals that reveal the side of Yorkston that would happily sit in on a high-spirited ceilidh, or woozily join on the harmonies at one of the Fence Collective’s legendary homegames. It also demonstrates Yorkston’s blood deep understanding of the dynamics of folk music, storytelling, and singing your life even as it unfurls around you.
Roaring The Gospel is released on 4th June. To read more about this record, listen to a selection of tracks or to pre-order this release click here.
