{"product_id":"alasdair-roberts","title":"Alasdair Roberts","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlasdair's traveling mostly solo this time - but the solo performances are augmented in passing moments. As given to a set of traditional songs as a collection of his own originals, Alasdair has rightly chosen original songs for his self-titled effort. The ten songs of this new album feel very close to his heart, and are rendered almost tenderly. With the sheer number of songs from centuries past in his head, it isn't unusual for Ali to launch his melodies from one of the auld songs - and in the case of 'Artless One,' the starting point is 'The Rigs of Rye'. Unlike the syncretic epics of his previous album, 'A Wonder Working Stone', the songs of Alasdair Roberts use the melodies to explore inner terrain with soulful brevity. As with 'Artless One,' arrangements for the rest of the album emerge from the rich resonance of Alasdair's guitar with the magic that only acoustic instruments can bring. It's equal parts soothing and stimulating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drag City","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50409862037835,"sku":"383590","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50409862234443,"sku":"383589","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a5adb1f2-6180-40f1-b751-52780ee903cd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726630525","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/alasdair-roberts","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
