Martin Simpson - Bramble Briar - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Arguably the finest finger style acoustic guitarist on the planet, Martin Simpson returns to Topic Records after a break of almost 15 years. Surprisingly, this is his first recording of exclusively English material - predominately traditional, completely English and totally outstanding. Martin Simpson's guitar and vocals have never sounded better, and classic traditional material is delivered in subtle and innovative ways. Album Tracks 1. Polly on the Shore 2. The Lover's Ghost 3.
