New Reviews.....

The Independent on Sunday

Reviewed by Simmy Richman
Sunday, 11 January 2009

Fairytales, folk stories, enchanted forests and fiery lakes – so far so promising, as Angie Palmer's latest perfectly crafted offering gets a proper release in the January lull.

'Meanwhile' is further proof that what "the British Lucinda Williams" lacks in Americana credentials (she's from Preston), she makes up for with a dues-paying busking-in-Paris past. "The mind has monster great and small/Just waiting for the night to fall" she sings on "Slip Away From Me". Palmer's night should fall more often.
Pick of the album: The spooky and epic 'Weeping Wood'

The Sun ****

Friday 9th January 2009

LISTEN to Angie's lived-in voice and atmospheric country-folk-rock arrangements and you imagine she spends her time heading down dusty trails under Southern skies.
The truth is she's a Brit who divides her time between Manchester and France but it's no surprise she's been described as our own Lucinda Williams.
Her smoky delivery suits these tales of love and betrayal. There's a healthy air of mysticism when she enters the secret world of The Fiery Lake, based on a Russian folk story, or crosses the dark, bluesy terrain of Hunting The Wolf.
Worth turning the lights down low for.
SC
 

Rock'n'Reel
****
A Lancashire lass but Palmer makes records that sound like she grew up deep in the heart of America. Vocally Shawn Colvin is a reference point but closer to home echoes of Tanita Tikaram feature in the phrasing. Meanwhile. As Night Falls... has been two years in the writing: living on the edge of a forest the heart of rural France Palmer was drawn to the mystery of nightfall and all that it conceals. The result is a record strong on haunting lyrics and atmospherics. Nowhere is this better evidenced than on the deliciously spiced fairytale song ‘Hunting the Wolf', where Palmer's superb house band swamp things up effectively in the style of Tony Joe White. Preceding this is the superb ‘Slip Away From Me' features suitably unsettling lyrics situated somewhere on the edge of a dream.
But it's not all dark and devilish tales - the tender ‘If I Was', sprightly ‘Deep Blue Sea' and toe-tapping shuffle of ‘I Hear That Locomotive' successfully lighten the tone. Nevertheless atmospheric story songs define Meanwhile and the concluding mini-epic ‘Weeping Wood' is a superbly simmering twang-fest that reminds us just why Palmer's narrative song writing talent has won her comparisons with both Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell.

ANGIE PALMER: RoadANGIE PALMER: Tales Of Light & Darkness

“One of Britain's greatest singer-songwriters' Bob Harris BBCR2“

‘A lyrically sharp album with gritty vocals and powerful music that makes you sit up and listen! a gifted and original artist. . . a wonderful diverse collection that should get her even more critical acclaim." **** Maverick Magazine

"Anyone who enjoyed Road will enjoy this album. Better than 99% of any album you'll hear this year. Original and polished" ****1/2 Country Music People

"Rare in this world of introspective songwriters Palmer has a truly narrative style recalling Dylan and consummately literate... utterly convincing" Acoustic Magazine

“Striking fourth release from Preston based songstress... vivid imagery and poets flourish ...an excellent album." 8/10 americana-uk

“Rarely has an independent recording come along which contains such a strong mixture of songwriting, vocal and musical skills”
Folk & Roots

"With strong elements of blues, folk, & country as a base, Palmer has produced a very fine collection of 10 songs. . . an album with quality stamped all over it."
Blues Matters

“This is a magical album, and to resist is madness. Go buy and enrich your life beyond measure.” HiFi News

"One of this country's finest female singer-songwriters"
Net Rhythms




What they said about Road

“Palmer jams songs with so many high-culture reference points she brings to mind Bob Dylan's mid- 1960s output....” HMV Choice: Top 10 Albums July/August 2004

“Road is a stunning slice of 'Americana'... Palmer echoes the best of Lucinda Williams, Shawn Colvin and Joni Mitchell... the Queen of British Country” Amazon.com

"This is an exquisite collection... a definite one for my albums of the year" ***** Album Of The Month. Country Music People.

"a writer of considerable distinction... one to be played at regular intervals." **** Mojo Magazine.

"Has a delicious hair-in-the-voice approach that gives her a tough edge over more fey contemporaries... Impressive" *** Uncut

At seventeen Angie left England for Europe to follow in the footsteps of folk troubadours like Dylan, ending up in Paris for seven years busking a living playing bars, cinema queues and the Metro. A twist of fate led her to meet her writing partner, Paul Mason, a philosopher from Manchester Metropolitan University in a Cafe Philosophique and together they returned to England.

Back in the U.K. Angie's third CD Road gained 4 and 5 star reviews and earned her comparisons with Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell thanks to lyrics described by reviewers as “intelligent” and “literate”. For others her potent mix of country, blues, and folk served up with equal measures of aggression and tenderness has led her to called the “British Lucinda Williams”. Road made it on to the long short list for the Mercury Prize in 2004 and Angie's music is being championed by Bob Harris amongst others and has featured on film soundtracks in both England and France.

Her last CD Tales of Light and Darkness (which also made the long-cut for the Mercury Music Prize 2006) continued where Road left off, mixing strong narrative songs with smaller, more personal reflections. HMV Choice said “Not since Bob Dylan's mid-60's output has a singer jammed songs with so many high-culture reference points”.

The new CD, "Meanwhile, as night falls . . ." is available now via Proper Distribution.
On Meanwhile Angie is again backed by her band ‘The Revelators' and also by B.J. Cole on pedal steel. Expect strange takes on old fairy tales (Hunting the Wolf), Russian folk stories (The Fiery Lake), Biblical parables (Hey Lazarus!) and French pirates (Ile d'Yeu) and an 81/2 minute song about the eternally hopeless lives of the strange inhabitants of a mysterious forest! (Weeping Wood). Oh! and there's some love songs too!
