Hybrid, Cinematic Soundscape. Welsh duo producing music that is as described, sounds like it is for films. If you like The Cinematic Orchestra, try this.

Not decided yet, need a few more plays yet. Initial feeling is good with some nice guest spots on it from Beth Hart, John Hiatt and Paul Rogers. If you're a JB fan then it will be right up your street, though hardly groundbreaking.

I've not heard the Albert Hall album, but love the previous live album, From Nowhere in Particular

Many thanks.

 

On the second playing at the moment and it's sounding pretty good. I was bit pre-occupied with other things last night, having a "serious session" Laughing tonight.  Just listened to a blinding version of Gary Moore's Midnight Blues. Great song with some sublime JB fretwork. The next track Dust Bowl is superb too, JB is definitely on top form on this recording.
