Blair Dunlop releases his third studio album ‘Gilded’ on May 6th 2016.

Gilded’ follows on from Blair’s highly acclaimed 2014 release ‘House Of Jacks’ and his outstanding debut album ‘Blight and Blossom’ in 2012, which saw him win the BBC R2 Folk Horizon Award. Blair is a story-teller, known for his cerebral life affirming lyrics and the new record fares no differently - ‘Gilded’ is a collection of stories and reflections, recorded in live takes at Manchester’s Blue Print Studios. On this record Blair remains true to his folk roots lyrically whilst continuing to push musically into new areas.  

It's folk Jim but not as we know it - well it's not and who cares. Despite his folk roots Blair has once again produced an album with a contemporary feel and contemporary themes. Following on from House of Jacks it has clever, witty lyrics with his superb guitar work. Best release by UK artist this year - there I've said it.

Highly Recommended
