Product DescriptionFirmly established as a performer and songwriter of considerable
skill, Joe Stilgoe gives a masterclass in nostalgia with a contemporary
twist.
New Songs For Old Souls is Joe's first studio album for Linn Records,
following his signing to the label in 2014.
The album comprises twelve songs with ten terrific originals by Joe,
including three thrilling big band numbers: 'Nobody Cares Like Me',
'Pocket Song' and a new version of 'Gold On Silver', previously heard
on Songs On Film Live.
Joe's seamless ability to mix contemporary style with a fond nostalgia
for the Golden Era of Gene Kelly and Louis Prima means his 'old soul'
finds a perfect match in these 'new songs'.
Joe's trademark catchy hooks and clever lyrics (full of intricate
rhymes and clever twists reminiscent of Irving Berlin and Cole Porter)
create an instant familiarity.
Joe also duets with Liane Carroll on a wistful cover of Brian Wilson's 'I
Just Wasn't Made For These Times', one of the album's two nonoriginal
songs.
New Songs For Old Souls will also be released on 180g vinyl.
