Dyble, Judy / Andy Lewis - Summer Dancing CD (Mega Blowout Sale)

SKU 23-AJXCD 416
“Judy Dyble and Andy Lewis come to together for a psychedelic folk collaboration Summer Dancing. Dyble was the original vocalist in Fairport Convention appearing on their self-titled debut, before joining Giles, Giles and Fripp and then recording the awesome UK psych masterpiece 'Morning Way' under the name Trader Horne with her then boyfriend Ian McDonald.
Andy Lewis was the original DJ at legendary Brit-pop club Blow Up, before recording his own albums for Acid Jazz and scoring a top forty hit with his collaboration with Paul Weller 'Are You Trying To Be Lonely?' in 2007. After that he joined Weller's band of which he was a member until the end of 2016.
This album is made of the very stuff of British psychedelia, an obsession with childhood, the country and the city. It emerges from a place somewhere between Broadcast, the Soundtrack to the Wickerman and Stereolab.”

“Judy Dyble's musical renaissance continues apace with this excellent collaboration with Andy Lewis (apparently a Paul Weller associate but a new name to me). There are certainly nods towards late 60's/early 70's folksy psychedelia you might expect but the musical arrangements have a contemporary edge that often reminded me of Saint Etienne at their most pastoral. A real gem that deserves attention.”

The Wayside description of this album is very helpful. Here's what I can add. Excellent songs, and recorded sound with interesting and original arrangements having a "contemporary edge" while the songs remain "pastoral". This is a winning and seldom seen combination. Judy Dyble's voice is even more clear and beautiful than it was in the late 1960s Fairport or even earlier Giles Giles and Fripp days - amazing! Andy Lewis is credited with a lot of the instruments but there are no specific credits for him and other musicians are in fact noted, so that's a minor quibble. I just like knowing who did what. This is a really seriously fine album. Different, but not so esoteric that it won't appeal to the average music lover. I can't praise it enough. How many stars do I give it? How many stars are in the sky? That many. -T.A.
