' Kris Drever and Eddi Read­ er.'


No musician has combined


the diverse elements of British, Afro-American and old-timey music more elo­ quently than Simpson. His 15 years living in the US were


well spent. In addition his own songwriting has pro­ duced some real gems, from


the truck-stop epic, “Love Never Dies” to the profound­ ly moving “Never Any Good”.


: His career includes collab­


orations on stage and record with June Tabor, Kelly Joe Phelps, Jackson Browne, Danu, Martin Carthy, Cara Dillon, David Lindley, Roy Bailey, Martin Taylor, David Hidalgo, Steve Miller, Dick Gaughan and many more. ■
