Withered Hand - You're Not Alone


(Morning Star, June 28, 2009)

EP review

In a prime taster of the forthcoming full-length album, Edinburgh troubadour Dan Willson makes a gentle pitch for Scottish artist of 2009.

The CD was recorded with two of Scotland's best-regarded indie labels, with Willson also making the genius decision of involving Kenny Anderson - bard of Fife's East Neuk and one of Fence Record's brightest lights, as King Creosote and producer extraordinaire.

The high point here is Big Ten Four (Paul's Song), but all four tracks have a folky insouciance which the Fence guys and their collaborators seem to do so well.
