Mother Ruin’s Beth Coyle sings well together with Graeme Shipcote, in fact it works fantastic. I hear old time, acoustic country, folk, a bit of bluegrass and a snip of blues. Shipcote"s Ruin is a record that deserves a broad audience and fits in radio 1 programming but I worry that will never happen :-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Link Magazine -April 09....
On this album, Shippy works with a band called Mother's
Ruin and they provide a beautiful bluegrassy backdrop,. The songs have a summery feel that sounds so beautiful and carefree and Shippy's lyrics are just getting better and better.
