Heidi Talbot

Detailed Description

Look out for a new star in the glittering firmament of great Irish singers: with the release of her new album 'In Love and Light', Heidi Talbot is truly set to shine. Already well known to US audiences as lead singer with the Irish-American supergroup Cherish The Ladies, and following wide critical acclaim for her previous solo outing, 2004's 'Distant Future', Talbot now extends her talents over a broader, bolder musical canvas, in company with a stellar cast of guests.

From the Scottish traditional ballad "Glenlogie" to the vintage Ink Spots hit "Whispering Grass", and from Tom Waits' bittersweet classic "Time" to an old parlour hymn, "When They Ring the Golden Bells", 'In Love And Light' draws from the full, diverse spectrum of influences that inform Talbot's exquisitely expressive, honeyed yet ardent singing.

Complemented here by the likes of Eddi Reader, ex-Solas guitarist John Doyle, fiddler John McCusker and flute/whistle ace Mike McGoldrick, it's a voice that's drawn comparisons as varied as Norah Jones, Alison Krauss, Lucinda Williams and Mindy Smith, but which could only have emerged from Talbot's own particular talents and background.

Special guests include: Eddi Reader, John McCusker, Boo Hewerdine, Kris Drever, Donald Shaw, John Doyle (Solas), Roy Dodds and with many rare and beautiful songs (including those by Tom Waits and Boo Hewerdine).
