True Train by Gillie Nicholls
The 10 track CD True Train is a delicate, gripping and poetic insight into the life of a mid fifties midlands songwriter; -a fiercely strong minded poet who balances the borderline of passion and philosophy. This conceptual album portrays a compelling journey through attraction and desire; from illusion to lucid dream.
The collaborative work of Gillie Nicholls and Tim Harries, the concept if felt through sparse, atmospheric accompaniment ; -eighteenth century pipe organ, electric bass, acoustic guitar, bouzouki, electric guitar, whilst mandolin haunts beautifully, several of the tracks; -an approach that recognises the heart of the matter and pares away all else.
