Martin Simpson is one of the world's premiere acoustic guitarists and a powerful songwriter with a rich, charactered voice. His playing, which in part defined the English steel string acoustic guitar sound, is idiosyncratic, instantly recognisable, and revered among guitar fans. His body of work is very diverse encompassing all types of traditional and acoustic music, and he has toured with everyone from June Tabor to Steve Miller.

In 1976 he recorded his first solo album "Golden Vanity".

In 1985 Martin married Jessica Ratcliffe, an American singer-songwriter and poet with whom he recorded few albums.

martin simpson is the complete natural musician, but his virtuosity on the guitar has often tended to unfairly overshadow his vocal and interpretive powers. his new album 'prodigal son' demonstrates his further growth as a player, singer and composer, with an eclectic mix of british and american traditional and composed songs as well as some stunning compositions of his own. he has also brought in musicians of superb calibre to enhance the recording. kate rusby and kellie while add backing vocals, there is danny thompson on bass and andy cutting on accordion and the great jackson browne adds vocals to martin's masterful take on the randy newman classic, 'louisiana 1927', a tribute to new orleans where he lived for several years. other highpoints are his own compositions 'never any good' which he wrote for his father and the instrumental piece 'mother love' written for his daughter molly. housed in a striking digipack, with outstanding photography by david angel, the complete package is martin's best to date.
