Description
From the opening bars of the beautiful ‘Daylight Rising’, it’s clear that Steve Tilston is an artist very much at the height of his powers, as he delivers from the heart these wonderful songs of authority and instrumental panache. Such Times was recorded during the first national lockdown and sees Steve take on the role of social commentator and storyteller, as he weaves his magic on a wide-range of subjects including homelessness, an early ramble on the moors, and the magical effect of music on children.
Remarkably, the release of Such Times coincides with the 50th anniversary of his debut album An Acoustic Confusion from 1971. Since then he has become one of the UK’s most celebrated songsmiths, widely recognised within the world of folk and contemporary music; the words, arrangements and subtle, quite superb guitar playing could be no one else.
