About this episode

Artist: Edwin Williamson Track 1: Black Train Album: The Westend Sessions Label: Incarnation Records 2022 Producer: Astrid Williamson Composer: Edwin Williamson Lyricist: Edwin Williamson Edwin is also on Nostr - give him a follow Artist: Edwin WilliamsonAlbum: The Westend SessionsLabel: Incarnation Records2022Edwin Williamson’s unrestrained baritone recalls Scott Walker, blending rich melodies with a raw acoustic sensibility. His captivating songs, reminiscent of Nick Drake in their elemental lyricism, speak to urban wastelands peopled by poet junkies, gamblers, and femme fatales, all the while being tinged with a gritty world-weary swagger worthy of Johnny Cash or Nick Cave. The Westend Sessions is the result of a collaboration between singer songwriter Astrid Williamson, Edwin’s sister, during the Covid19 lockdowns of 2020/21 and is released on Incarnation Records on 24th November 2022.

For you are in the moon, the wind and through the whole evening song you are the sailor in eternity whose journey is not gone.."
