Elaine Samuels and Kindred Spirit - Phoenix Rising
Re-released May 3rd
We are very proud to add British
progressive folk-rock band Kindred Spirit to our roster of
artists. The band re-release their magnificent album Phoenix Rising on May 3rd.
The album features the powerful,
varied and perceptive song-writing and lead vocals of Elaine Samuels, plus expansive arrangements, featuring lead
instrumentalists Gavin Jones (violin, recently replaced by the brilliant Martin
Ash) and Catherine Dimmock (flute). Other features of the band include the
solid rhythm section of Mike Hislop (bass) and the legendary Les Binks (ex
Judas Priest, drums).
This is superb, emotive
and sometimes mystical music in the grand tradition of FAIRPORT CONVENTION, JETHRO
TULL, RENAISSANCE, CURVED AIR, MOSTLY AUTUMN and SOLSTICE amongst many others.
Elaine Samuels is a singer
/ songwriter who has been performing professionally since 1993. The band were formed in the late 90s and give
Elaine's songs the big, progressive arrangements they deserve. That said, the album still offers plenty of
variation from the glorious, Renaissance-style "The Phoenix" to the
heavy rock of "Feed the Fire", "Let the Music Set You Free"
which recalls early Solstice and the near pop of "Life is a Circus". This
is as good a progressive folk album as you will hear.
The band headlined the
first "Four Play Prog Festival" in April 2016
