IF YOU RE one of those unfortunate souls who’s never come across any of Reg Meuross’s work in the past, this exemplary batch of CD reissues should provide an eloquent introduction to the Somerset-based singer-songwriter’s exquisitely crafted brand of music-making.
The six albums on offer here were first unleashed on an unsuspecting world between the years of 1996 and 2013 but have sadly been out of stock for quite some time until now.
The perceptive and deeply poetic content finds Meuross working in close collaboration with luminaries such as revered folkie Martin Carthy, Show of Hands’s multitalented Phil Beer and former Free and Who keyboard ace John “Rabbit” Bundrick, as the acoustic balladeer unveils spellbinding gems such as And Jesus Wept, Lizzie Loved A Highwayman and The Heart of Ann Lee for your listening pleasure.
