{"product_id":"simpson-martin-purpose-grace-cd-71482205842","title":"Martin Simpson - Purpose \u0026 Grace [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurpose + Grace takes it's very apposite title from the great American songwriter Yip Harburg (composer of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow', 'Brother Can You Spare A Dime' and 'Only A Paper Moon') \"I am one of the last of a small tribe of troubadours who still believe that life is a beautiful and exciting journey with a purpose and grace well worth singing about.\" With guest appearances from Richard Thompson, June Tabor, Dick Gaughan and Fay Hield, the album marks a bold and confident step for Simpson. Building upon the strengths of Prodigal Son and True Stories, like a movie producer, he conceived the whole project over a number of months and then invited some of his favorite musicians to bring their stellar talents to the recording sessions. The material shifts from Anglo-American ballads, Scots and English traditional songs to new compositions from Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson, the aforementioned Yip Harburg and Martin Simpson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sheffield Apprentice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold General Wolfe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrothers Under the Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Liza Jane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrother Can You Spare a Dime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJamie Foyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Pines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrange Affair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanjo Bill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbry Allen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Leave Your Banjo in the Shed Mr. Waterson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBad Girl's Lament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLakes of Ponchartrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"53","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50568497430824,"sku":"71482205842","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/simpson-martin-purpose-grace-cd-71482205842","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
