Larkrise Revisited by Allister Thompson
"Larkrise Revisited" is a remixed, remastered and partially rerecorded version of "Larkrise", an album I first released in 2012. I am a lifelong lover of British traditional music as well as modern updates to it by the likes of Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny.
I decided to realize a dream of recording an album of my favourite traditional songs that would also contain elements of ambient and progressive music. My arrangements and performances were there, but my knowledge of proper production and engineering were not, so I pulled the original album. Hence, I've now revisited the sessions and made it into the album I originally intended.
"The Old Miner" and "Bright Morning Star" are new bonus tracks recorded in February 2017. The latter is an Appalachian song also available in stirring renditions by Oysterband and The Young Tradition.
