Elles Bailey may well have picked up two awards from the prestigious UK Americana 2023 Awards (the highly coveted Artist of the Year Award and the very first Live Act of the Year Award and have been shortlisted for 3 awards at the forthcoming UK Blues Awards 2023 but she’s not standing still, basking in acclaim: this ever-creative, hardworking, genre-topping artist is moving forwards and releasing fresh material.Tracklist:
Speaking on the album, Elle said “What a year, what a story, what an epic journey! Thank-you for joining me on it. So many of you have asked for a deluxe version of ‘Shining In The Half Light’ including some live tracks from the record’s playlist. So, I got the whole cast together to record five of the tracks live at The Pool. It has been the one and only time we have been able to get the ‘Shining In The Half Light’ crew all together in one room: a very special moment indeed, particularly in light of the experiences of the last few years. But it felt like it wasn’t enough; that we still had more of the story to tell.
“To do that, the band and I headed back to Devon in December 2022 — to Middle Farm Studios – exactly two years to date since the original recording —and there we tracked two new originals and two covers. These we recorded and mixed live to tape with no computers at all: a complete first for me and part of a beautiful learning curve”.
“I think these tracks showcase this incredible band at their finest. It was a real blessing to make these tracks all together. It wasn’t about creating a ‘perfect’ recording, but about capturing a little spark of musical magic. I can’t wait for you to hear them”.
Hole in my Pocket’, the first single released from the record is a blues-inspired roots rocker, suffused with Motown bass lines and marinated in soulful guitar riffs & gospel-inspired backing vocals that show just how perfectly Bailey blurs and transcends the over-tidy picket fences between blues, roots rock and Americana. The gospel inspired backing vocals and slide guitar continue in ‘Stones’ which alongside opening laid back track ‘Cheats & Liars’, ‘Sunshine City’ and ‘The Game’ was added to the Planet Rock A list playlist, with 15 weeks collectively at the top spot on the UK Airplay Charts in 2020 after their recordings.
Bailey’s vocals are showcased delightfully in ‘Colours Start To Run’ with slices of soul and pop thrown in for good measure, the instrumentation leaving enough room for her clean yet ever so raspy vocals to shine through. Throughout this album, as much as Elle’s vocals should be praised, her band is also tight and well deserved of praise too. The theme of love showcased in the aforementioned continues into ‘Different Kind Of Love’, a relaxed ballad situated five songs in.
‘Sunshine City’ should please country and Americana fans with its slide guitar, sustained keys backing and foot tapping rhythm where as ‘Halfway House’ will be a surefire winner for slower acoustic fans. This can be said for the new original ‘Spinning Stopped’ too, a simple but effective song with just Bailey on guitar and vocals and a small percussion backing; a hidden gem in the middle of the album.
The first cover on the album ‘Over The Hill’, originally by a gem of a UK songwriter in John Martyn is spiced up with more of a rolling rhythm section (almost a little Tina Turner-esque) and ‘Long As I See The Light’, originally by legendary John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) is given a fitting tribute with Bailey’s own spin but the same rasping brass and slow snare roll to keep it ticking along.
