Tag: Heidi Talbot

Traversing oceans and musical styles – from folk, through Americana, to classic pop, and back again, the Co Kildare singer-songwriter Heidi Talbot has so far gained plaudits from the likes of The Guardian and The Sunday Times (with the latter calling her “simply vocal heaven”) and is joined by a host of musicians and co-writers on this fifth album, including husband John McCusker and Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow).

Here We Go, 1, 2, 3 sees Talbot reflect on birth, death and getting older – from gorgeous country-pop meditation ‘The Year That I Was Born’ (co-written with Louis Abbott), through downtime bluegrass psalm ‘Do You Ever Think Of Me’, to exquisite mortal jig ‘Time To Rest’, written by Adam Holmes.

The album revels in the comforting, and restorative, powers of music: it’s never maudlin or overly dark and the title track is inspired by an old gospel song.

“I loved the idea of it being quite uplifting, of it not being a funeral hymn, even though it’s about death,” Talbot offers.
