Artist of the Week - Wyrdstone - Track Title Announcement

Artist of the Week - Wyrdstone - Thelema

When I listen to this track it reminds me how excited I am by Clive Murrell's entry for "Songs from the Black Meadow". 

He uses the guitar as a guide, taking us through new paths, allowing our imaginations to soar over woods, over haystacks, through trees, under hedgerows. Into the warm heart of the countryside.

The sun is shining there.

Artist of the Week - Wyrdstone - Cuffern

I find myself returning to Cuffern time and time again. This is a stunning piece of work. Lose yourself in its beauty and calm.

An ethereal joy.

I will say no more.

Stick it on and wallow...

The fantastic and beautiful guitar stylings of Clive Murrell aka Wyrdstone. 

Delicious.

Artist of the Week - Wyrdstone - Collimating

I have fallen in love with this.

Relax.

The clouds have parted.

The man screams silently behind the glowing wicker.

Summer has come in.

The harvest will be plentiful.

Artist of the Week - Wyrdstone - Some words from Shindig magazine...

"Folk music and noble obscurity.

They go together like Robin and Barry Dransfield.

Back in the day, it might have been because Ye Olde Public were too distracted by the yelping of Tom Jones to discern the flute-organ of Dolly Collins, but nowadays that noble obscurity is achievable simply by unleashing a CDR of stunning music in miniscule quantities.

Such is the case with the fantastic pastoral psych-folk concoction Cuffern (Reverb Worship) by WYRDSTONE, the nom de plume of West Sussex folk guitarist Clive Murrell. The 10 instrumental tracks – two traditional, eight self-penned – are simply lovely hand-hewn musical sculptures. The nearest modern comparison is probably Voice Of The Seven Woods, although Wyrdstone goes far further in evoking rural details of corn dollies and well dressing without uttering a word." - Jeanette Leech - Shindig Magazine - Sept/Oct issue 2009."

More on "Cuffern" later in the week....
