Recorded entirely alone over six days in a tiny 200 year old cottage on the top of a mountain in Mid Wales, Alone On A Mountain Top is the polar opposite to the orchestral polish and drama of The Sweetest Ache. Drawing from the rustic traditions of Americana, country, delta blues, gospel and rock’n’roll, it became an unexpected success in the UK with major support from MOJO, UNCUT and Janice Long on BBC Radio 2 as well as opening the doors to international touring. The album garnered international distribution throughout Canada, Benelux and New Zealand where Rees toured with such fine company as Kelly Joe Phelps and Freakwater.
“Deliciously raw and spellbinding…A wonderful homespun triumph”.
(Phil Alexander, Editor in Chief - MOJO)
“A compelling set of vocal theatrics and spectral blues communion”. (UNCUT)
“An emotionally charged, world class singer songwriter”. (Janice Long – BBC RADIO 2)
