And Her Boys - T0337429587Canadian born folk star Bonnie Dobson has lived in the UK since the late ?60s and had effectively retired from the music scene. She was a key figure in the ?60s folk revival and was involved with the very Greenwich Village scene depicted in the recent Coen Bros film, Inside Llewyn Davis - playing at the Lamplight coffee house and with many of the major figures on the scene. Time magazine bracketed her together with Joan Baez and Judy Collins as the three top female folk singers in America. After being coaxed out of retirement by Jarvis Cocker in 2007, she began recording a new album in the summer of 2013. Bonnie Dobson's band features "her boys": top, young UK folk rock musicians including Ben Paley on fiddle and BJ Cole on pedal steel. Expect a mix of old and new songs, with Dobson's voice richer and warmer than ever before. | |
