Saturday Morning Country: Laura Cantrell

Saturday, 14th November 2009

Yay! Another young, still-to-reach-their-prime performer! I like Laura Cantrell heaps. She has something. Here she is performing When the Roses Bloom Again. A nice, properly mournful song that is, in its title anyway, a spin-off of an old Carter Family tune that itself is reminiscent of some of the old Border ballads and, thus, a reminder of how much good country music is still linked to songs from these parts...

Nostalgia for a memory of an echo of a sigh of something Northernish.
I like the jingle for piping hot porridge oats.

Thanks Alex, that takes me back. Laura Cantrell was a big favourite of John Peel and I saw her at The QEH for a Peel Day a few years ago, she was marvellous. I think I'm right in saying that her UK label is based in Scotland.

We're having a music moment over at Clive Davis Confab, although it seems my choice of Funkadelic's Maggot Brain isn't going down too well
