This is the third album by
Stephen Cracknell
's
The Memory Band
. In a decade which has seen a wide ranging and fruitful revival of interest in folk music, The Memory Band has established itself in that fine English tradition of slightly schizophrenic projects pointing in several directions at once. From the outset, The Memory Band has embraced change and for
Oh My Days
, the ever-fluid line-up of the band has shifted once more, with a fresh emphasis on rhythm courtesy of the powerhouse team of bassist
Jon Thorne
from
Lamb
and drummer
Tom Page
of
Rocketnumbernine
, as well as an all-new vocal frontline featuring
Jess Roberts
,
Jenny McCormick
,
Hannah Caughlin
and
Liam Bailey
.
Sam Carter
, winner of the Horizon award at the Radio 2 Folk Awards, plays and sings on a number of songs, while there are contributions from names new and old;
Nancy Wallace
,
Dot Allison
,
Sam Genders
on vocals, guitarists
John Smith
and
Pete Greenwood
, bassist
Jonny Bridgwood
, string players
Quinta
,
Rob Spriggs
,
Jennymay Logan
and
Laura Moody
,
Sarah Scutt
on accordion and recorder, and
Serafina Steer
on harp.
Oh My Days
is a warmly-textured, delicately-balanced blend of the best elements from its predecessors. Low-key electronic pulses and loops purr away gently beneath material that radiates a quiet strength, having expanded its palette to embrace soul, gospel, Laurel Canyon rock and country blues alongside the folk and jazz elements of the earlier albums. It's a beautifully-poised piece of work, with the usual handful of inspired covers:
Sandy Denny
's "By The Time It Gets Dark,"
Graham Bond
's "Love Is The Law" and
Jeff Alexander
's "Come Wander With Me" nestling amongst ten originals, several of which are already live favorites.
