Ursula's Crow I must be the last person to find out about Sam's first record, made almost ten years ago, now. The storytelling feels natural and original at the same time - really fresh! Favorite track: The Ballad Of George Collins.

about

Sam’s Mercury Award nominated 2012 debut album is a work several years in conception which brought together a multitude of experiences and influences for a musician who has cut an unique course in his artistic development. This 8-track release mixed by the legendary John Wood (of Nick Drake fame) comprises material gleaned from years of research and exploration into the forgotten songs and sounds of the British Isles.

about

Sam Lee UK

Forged from the same roaring hearth as luminaries like Martin Carthy and Nic Jones, Londoner Sam Lee fell under the spell of folk music while completing an apprenticeship under legendary balladeer Stanley Robertson.
