WEBSTER, GREGORY
promised land

Release Date: 27/10/2009

'promised land' sees gregory webster (razorcuts) returning to matters of the heart, utilizing the acoustic 12 string based sound familiar to those who have seen his regular popfest performances in recent years. although never foolish enough to adopt the mannerisms of another culture for his own, gregory's love of american folk and country greats such as willie nelson and hank williams clearly shines through. in fact the b-side is a radically different interpretation of hank williams' lesser known classic 'won't you sometimes think of me?'. simplicity rules throughout, complementing the naked honestly of the songwriting. gregory's signature 12 string sound is augmented by haunting harmonium accompaniment from the birthday girl (vatican cellars) and beautifully uplifting vocal flourishes provided by pam berry of the legendary black tambourine. limited 7" split release on where it's at is where you are and slumberland.
