Rest & Be Thankful

Following 2012's wonderful 'Bleached Highlights,' an album that generated many rave reviews, Joe McAlinden is back with 'Rest And Be Thankful,' another elegantly soulful and emotional record. Having travelled to West Heath Yard in 2012 to work with Edwyn Collins and Sebastian Lewsley on 'Bleached Highlights,' Joe decided this time he needed a rural approach and it quickly became apparent that it would be easier to make a new record at home in Argyll with the Linden live band: Stuart Kidd, Eric Lindsay and Marco Rea. Joe built a makeshift studio in an old fisherman's croft on the shores of Loch Fyne, threw some logs on the fire and set about recording 'Rest and Be Thankful'.
