Great show from Kris as ever. Particularly enjoyed the introduction of electric guitar (Judith!) used to great evocative effect on Orcadian songs old and new.

It was an honour and a pleasure to support.

Kris Drever – new single, Best Of album and tour

Kris Drever

One of Scotland’s finest and most acclaimed songwriters Kris Drever shares his new single ‘Catterline’ on March 28th and announces a new album ‘The Best of’ (released by Reveal Records) May 19. A UK tour with his own band includes a headline show at London’s Union Chapel on June 13th is on sale now (see tour dates below).

The expansive (36 track) compilation album features new songs (‘Catterline’, ‘Punchbag’ and ‘Dust In Light’) whilst collecting together key songs from Drever’s solo albums ( Black Water , Mark The Hard Earth , If Wishes Were Horses and Where The World Is Thin ) alongside choice cuts from his collaborations and recordings with Aidan O’Rourke and Martin Green as pioneering folk trio Lau.

Since the release of his acclaimed 2020 album Where The World Is Thin Kris has been busy playing major shows with Julie Fowlis, Karine Polwart, Sekou Keita and Jackie Morris for their Lost Spell Songs project (Thirty Tigers, 2021), won yet another BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Original Song, won Album of The Year at the Scots Trad Music Award 2021, duetted with Aoife O’Donovan and toured with Lau and Rachel Baiman before returning to the studio in early 2023 to record the new songs for this compilation album.

About the new single ‘Catterline’ Kris says..

 “The song itself is about the wonderful artist Joan Eardley and her relationship with the little fishing village of Catterline, near Stonehaven. Her paintings are such a perfect description of the place; it seemed irresistibly elegant to echo them. I knew a little about her from a TV dramatization of her life (which I’ve never been able to find and which no one else remembers) that I either watched or dreamed up in the ‘90s or ‘00s, but the research for this song really brought her into focus for me. I’m in awe of the way she gave herself to her artistic purpose and wish I had even an iota of the concentration levels she invested in her work. I used her own words where possible to make this song.”

The Best Of album features many incredible guest performances from over 17 years of recordings including: Boo Hewerdine, Eddi Reader, Kate Rusby, Ian Carr, Yola, Heidi Talbot, Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Roddy Woomble (Idlewild), Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow), Andy Cutting (Leveret), Euan Burton, Rachel Lightbody, Elysian Quartet, John McCusker, Tim O’Brien, Megan Henderson (Breabach), Éamonn Coyne and Joan As Police Woman.

About collaboration and his first Kris Drever Band tour Kris says…

“Collaboration has always been at the heart of my enjoyment of music. I love the freedom of heading out on my own; I love the challenge of trying to realise full arrangements with just a guitar and a vocal but, for me, nothing comes close to building those invisible cathedrals with my comrades. The excitement of real musical dialogue is overwhelming: the knowledge that something is happening in front of me that can’t ever be exactly replicated is fascinating and frankly, even after all these years as a musician, miraculous. For the last few years, I’ve been working with a really special group of musicians, mostly in the studio – although we have made it out into the light very occasionally to perform. It’s time now, though, to share these wonderful people and the experiences they create with as wide an audience as possible, because they’re fabulous. Louis Abbott is a multi-instrumentalist (drums, guitars, keys) and vocalist who is best known for his work as the front man of Scottish Indie collective Admiral Fallow; Euan Burton is my long time co-producer (studio adult) and absolutely stellar double bassist; and Rachel Lightbody is a highly prized jazz singer who also excels in her work as a backing vocal artist. Having gotten together increasingly frequently in recent times for various TV and online performances, we’ve worked up a broad variety of my own material. We’ve found a route into songs from across my back catalogue, and in many cases opened them up in ways that I could never have figured out on my own. The upshot of all this is that it’s time to take this fresh sound and retrospective collection on the road.”

Kris Drever

with special guest Rachel Baiman

On the heels of their respective new solo albums, Scottish folk star Kris Drever (LAU), and Nashville-based Americana artist Rachel Baiman present a joint tour of the UK and Scotland in the Spring of 2022, featuring solo sets from each as well as unique collaborations drawing on their respective original material.

Acclaimed guitarist and songwriter Kris Drever has won multiple awards including seven BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, two shortlist nominations for Scottish Album of The Year (with his trio Lau) and much acclaim for his solo recordings and concerts including glowing reviews from The Herald, The Guardian, Mojo and Q Magazine. Kris has collaborated with Cream’s Jack Bruce, Tinariwen, Joan As Police Woman, Jerry Douglas, Danny Thompson, Rosanne Cash, Eddi Reader, Julie Fowlis, Karine Polwart, Seckou Keita, The Lost Words: Spell Songs collective and many more.

With her 2017 debut 'Shame', Americana songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Baiman emerged as a fearless voice of the American female experience. 'Shame' was featured on NPR’s 'Songs We Love', called a “Rootsy Wake-up Call” by Folk Alley, and described by Vice’s 'Noisey' as “flipping off authority one song at a time.” On her new full-length album 'Cycles', Baiman has found a grittier musical medium for her signature unabashed and defiant songwriting, employing a majority-female team including co-producer Olivia Hally, known as the front woman of Indie-pop band Oh Pep!

Drever and Baiman are both heavily steeped in folk traditions, yet happily influenced by modern sounds. Together they present a complimentary and transatlantic take on roots music, with stunning vocal harmonies and instrumental prowess.

At The Barrier

Live music, reviews and opinion / est. 2018, kris drever – the best of: album review.

So much more than an also ran, Kris Drever confirms his pole position, with this back catalogue cementing his right to be.

Release Date: 19th May 2023

Label: Reveal Records

Format: CD / Vinyl / Digital

kris drever tour

I used to wonder who these lavish and detailed compilation albums were aimed at, given the flurry of, broadly, similar reprises/retrospectives coming out of Planet Folk right now. We have featured a few, Drever associate John McCusker being one such. Surely the true acolyte will have much the material already, and, with all due respect to the artists concerned, they are seldom big enough chart-botherers to tap into a general audience? But, because there always is a but, this release goes some the way to explaining to whom and why. (OK, and there is the time anointed PR ploy of a trio of unreleased and new songs, but we won’t hold that against him.)

I have always liked Drever, but, it’s true, I had never quite crossed over into the full fanboy, my bad, my preferences tending to err more towards his rightly celebrated collaborative work, with the mighty Lau and with McCusker, in the trio Drever, McCusker, Woomble. Silly me, I had somehow thought him the weaker link in each trio, so, in part, maybe this release is aimed at the odd erstwhile doubter. So anyone like me. Plus, to be fair, he is at that stage in his career where the list of his releases is getting to be pretty damn extensive. Not everybody will want, or even afford to be able to hoover ’em all up, so this proves a pretty good retrospective to dip into. Plus, as my shelves indisputably display, a decent Best Of often trips off into a deeper delve and further purchases. (Which has already happened following this.)

This is a double set, 36 songs, stretching back over his 5 studio solo albums, his 5 with Lau, the aforementioned DMcCW, plus a plethora of collaborations, too many to mention, and certainly more than can be included in this package. (So, to save you looking, nothing from either of the two Spell Songs sets or from his digital only set, Transatlantic, with Aiofe O’Donovan.) In a not quite order of release, the solo tracks are broadly grouped together, with the collaborations dotted about them for contrast. Let’s see how it spins….

Clearly, Blackwater, his 2006 debut gets quite a shout, where, in a single stride, he became arguably the better known of the Drever dynasty, Ivan, the onetime Wolfstone front man, becoming Kris’s father, rather than Kris remaining merely Ivan’s son, if you catch my drift. Farewell To Fuineray is the opener, it fitting that a lament should be the first song that you hear, so suited is his voice to such fare. Indeed, as the warm honey-heathered tones drip out, already I can see my earlier prejudices to be just that. With just guitar and voice for the first verse or so, fiddle and harmonium then jut in gloriously, as sad a song you’ll hear today. Incidentally, it was the song that first caught him a recording contract, making it another apt reason to open with. Steel And Stone (Black Water) follows, showing quite how well his voice fits with a female harmony, it here provided by Eddi Reader, also being one of many Sandy Wright songs featured on this compendium. Lau then get their first fanfare, with Butcher Boy, from their debut, a year later than Drever’s own. Less experimental than later work, the seeds for greater creativity are being sewn, Aidan O’Rourke’s fiddle well to the fore, with Martin Green just beginning to tinker with the studio hoops he could make his boxwork leap through. Back to Blackwater for Harvest Gypsies and for Beads And Feathers, the former upbeat and near Americana, the latter another mournful offering, the harmonium of Donald Shaw suitably maudlin. Harvest Gypsies was written by Boo Hewardine, which later led to the two of them forging links and collaborating.

Lau’s Unquiet Grave is about as cheerful as any such a title should promise, consolidating the notion that Drever delivers mighty fine dirge, that seldom celebrated lynchpin of the traditional folk canon. It is as wonderful as my first hearing, all those years ago. Poor Man’s Son and Navigator wrap up the selections from Blackwater, chosen to showcase his yearning vocals, the first as good a slice of country’n’orcadian as has ever been. Navigator sideswiped me a little, so redolent of the Roddy Woomble style of both singing and writing, having me falsely assume it to be from the trio album, actually being a Phil Gaston song, with Drever singing a semi-tone down from his usual. Next up are four selections from his second solo disc. Simpler and more unadorned, some may find them overly stark and simple, needing a few listens to show their guaunt beauty, especially title track, Mark The Hard Earth and a further Wright song, Shining Star.

The Poorest Company is now the awaited track from Drever McCusker Woomble, actually to all intents and purposes a solo Drever track, little evidence of his bandmates, until the atmospheric later chorus and instrumental coda. Fair play, this is, after all, Drever’s show. Eamonn Coyne is a tenor banjo player from Ireland, now an Edinburgh resident, and a regular fixture on the cicuit there; Salas Celtica and Treacherous Orchestra each feature his playing. Working frequently in a duo with Drever, they have made a number of recordings together, as a duo and with Megan Henderson. So we get Isle of France and the Mareel version of Wintermoon, sandwiching Wild Hurricane/Lament For Glencoe, by all three. Pitched towards the more traditional end of things, they feel here more for completeness, pleasant though they are.

Back to Lau for a deeper immersion, with the closer on the first disc being Banks Of Marble, from 2009’s Arc Light. The progression from their first album is immediately present, Green now throwing off-kilter shapes and textures into the mix, that conflict/complement his cohorts with aplomb. Drever’s voice even seems stronger and more confident. Their next album was Race The Loser, three years later, and the transformation is near complete, with electronics now a major part of the sound. Throwing Pennies is the song chosen here, followed by Ghosts from the next one, possibly their masterpiece, The Bell That Never Rang. Drever is now comfortable on electric guitar, and his voice carries clearly and confidently over the expanded palette of instrumentation available. It is a wonderful song, and had to be in this collection. and, yes, it probably counts as a dirge.

Suddenly it is 2016, and we are at Drever’s If Wishes Were Horses album, which saw him forsake much the traditional arrangements; fiddles, boxes, of his earlier work, it being very much singer-songwriter territory. It is represented by Capernaum, I Didn’t Try Hard Enough, the title track, Hard Year and Five Past Two. More organic, I guess, than Lau, these songs feature meshed guitars, picking in a constant stream of syncopated notes, and a rhythm section that provide more wallop than anything thus far. I Didn’t Try Hard Enough is a song that always reminds me of Martin Simpson’s Never Any Good, a good thing, in my book; in fact, there is a very Simpson-esque tang to all these cuts, which needs a mention that the guitar lead parts are from Ian Carr, as well as Drever himself. Carr also provides the the trumpet that lifts the title track to amongst the best songs here. Yolanda Quartey is the female voice in Hard Year, which, with Five Past Two, shows an emerging pop sensitivity creeping in to his canon. Given the year before had seen a duet EP with Boo Hewardine, I wonder if that may have been the source of that. When The Shouting Is Over comes from that pairing, and is the next track. Unsurprisingly , it is a well constructed guitar strumalong, with Everly harmonies to boot.

For those beginning to twig that The Bell That Never Rang, the album, has been and gone, the running order now tricks us with the title track. Sadly not the full fifteen minutes, just the radio-edit, and the prime example of the whole album needing, nay, demanding to be a purchase made on the back of this, for anyone and everyone unfamiliar. Even in this foreshortened version it is remarkable, three individuals in complete control of their musical destiny. The chorale towards the close is pure goose bump. But don’t lose that feeling, as Where The World Is Thin, his next solo project, saw a withdrawal from the panache of Horses, and provides four tracks here. A more subtle and stripped back album, which, if not a full return to traditional influences, it, by being less strident, packs in more charm. Scapa Flow 2019, with muted trumpet and electronic percussion, is an example of the speed with which his own songwriting has developed. The title track is more whimsical, with spectral keyboards, whereas Sanday is a simple love song, if to a place. The instrumental effects enhance rather than detract from the relative simplicity of the song. Hunker Down/That Old Blitz Spirit then sounds as if it could have been a prtent for covid, which, given the late 2020 release date, is not impossible.

Ready to see where Lau went next? With She Put On Her Headphones, from Midnight And Closedown, it seems the whole chamber electronica, almost Beatle-y in melody. From the same album, itshardtoseemtobeokwhenyourenot, is about as far from the nominally folk band they began life as. I like that alchemy, it here having them sound like an orchestral New Order, with Dark Secret then as convincingly exotic and unclassifiable, bar the core melody. Drever’s vocal is here as mellow as a dram of Highland Park, a simile perhaps in keeping, or not, with the lyrical thrust. A dauntingly poignant song.

Finally we come to the bonus material, three new tracks, two solo, with the third being another Hewardine collaboration. It comes first, twin guitars and twin voices, Drever taking the lead. Similar in feel, I guess to their other joint work, I wonder if this comes from the same sessions? Punchbag is quite a scary song, set to a delicate melody, underpinned with bouzouki and bodhran, with Rachel Lightbody’s backing vocals. A litany of passive aggression, is it a possible riposte to Dark Secret? No idea, but ouch….. Catterline, which pre-released this set as the ‘single’, closes the show. Named after an Aberdeenshire village, it is a sweet, charming song, and a seamless way to close this history so far. As a performer, he is clearly way more complex and varied player than my earlier and ill-founded preconceptions had given him credit for. And, if that is the outcome others will find from this engaging pot-pourri, then it will have been a job well done.

For those taken by the salvo of closing songs, and liking this further, if not new direction, new tributary, Drever embarks soon on a tour with his new Kris Drever Band, consisting of himself with Louis Abbott on drums (and a whole lot else), Euan Burton on Bass and the backing vocals of Rachel Lightbody. Should be good.

"Well, what sort of music do you like, Seuras?" Ever since that question was first aired by his mother a decade or six back he has struggled with the answer. And struggles still now. Call him a folkie, a country dude, a bluesman and he'll be happy, but don't forget the whiff of jazz, electronica and more. Not so keen on the charts, mind. View all posts by Seuras Og
