You Crazy Dreamers

Serious Sam Barret – Close To Home Album Out Now !

Posted: 20 Aug 2009 01:51 PM PDT


You may remember back in May I wrote about Sam here and that I would update you’s with any further news? Well consider this an update. Sam has now officially released his album, close to home on Yadig records and is available here now via Leeds’ Jumbo records who also ship to anywhere in the world for ridiculously cheap prices. Released on vinyl format WITH the cd too, you’d be a fool to miss it. He has had successful launch nights already in London and his hometown of Leeds (Even got a mention in the Guardian don’t you know?) and even Jumbo records say it’s one of the most eagerly awaited albums they’ve had in yonks. I won’t give a huge write up now as you can read what I think by reading what I wrote back in May but I will say that this album is a majestic piece of work and everyone should own a copy. Forget your fake folksters jumping on the folk ’scene’ who are just in it for the money and the fame. I’d bet anyone any amount of money they like that come forty years time, regardless of any fame or fortune that may come Sam’s way, you will still find him playing and singing his heart out to anyone who will listen and it’s for this reason you should go buy his record, he’s as genuine as they come. Sam has also very kindly offered an mp3 for download you won’t find anywhere else but here. Enjoy it and for god’s sake go and buy his record will you?
