Miriam Jones' Solitary Songs

Been meaning to post about these for ages. Miriam Jones, as I've mentioned before, is one of my favourite singer/songwriters, and someone I'm really proud to play with. I've posted the EP of hers that I played on before... 

Anyway, for most of the last year, she's been doing a 'song a month, written, recorded and released on her own' kinda project, called the Solitary Songs. A few of them I've played live with her (the slide part I sometimes play on Helicopter is particularly fun ;) ) 

But here they are, just her and a guitar. They're awesome. Y'all should download them. Srsly.

The bass playing I'm most proud of from the last couple of years....

Well, there are two things I'm really proud of. One is the Lawson Dodds Wood album, which isn't on bandcamp.. .yet... 

The other is this track by Miriam Jones. It's called Routine Runaway, it's a heart-meltingly joyous song, and I really love the way the arrangement came out. A lot of it was my idea, arrangement-wise, and I'm grateful that Miriam trusted me when the first time we tried it it sounded like arse... Jez Carr's piano on it is fab too... 

have a listen, then go buy the EP. :)

Went to see Miriam Jones play last night. Quite often, if she's playing, I'm on bass. I'm equally happy just getting to listen to her and Jez play her awesome songs without my low frequency support. 

Wonderful stuff. Here's here last EP, which I played on:
