I can't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed this gig. Simple, soulful, melodic, intense & euphoric will do for starters. The Quiet Revolution are a band and a half, channeling the music and staying silent in all the right places.

My standouts were "Lost together", "Mimi song" and "Gospel song", Which is not to belittle the rest of the set or the beautiful acapella encore of "Walk around".

I'm absolutely over the moon about the sound on this too - the room in the CCA where this was held is one of the best sounding in Glasgow. Add in an attentive crowd and you've got gig heaven. Look out for some amused whispering early on from Frazey!

Please support the artists - buy their records and attend their shows.

Please try not to distribute this as mp3. Turn it into morse code if you like for your own use but circulate it in a lossless format please!

If you repost it anywhere - credit where it's due, ta!

Best known throughout the last 10 years as a member of the critically acclaimed Vancouver trio The Be Good Tanyas, Ford is now ready to tell her own story with a solo album she describes as being "moved by motherhood, earth and land." Obadiah is a collection of songs hand-carved by the hardships and exaltations of life, and stained with the rich colors of soul and folk music that fueled artists like Joni Mitchell, Ann Peebles, Neil Young, and Donny Hathaway. After a period of stillness, it�s the sound of Ford finding herself once again.

"I began to write just for the joy of it," says Ford, reflecting on the past few years. "I realized that I was just me, and for the first time I understood that was enough. A lot of this album is coming out of healing that I�ve done. The knowledge that in all grief there is joy, and in all joy there is grief."

Recorded during a blissful Vancouver summer at the studio of co-producer and multi-instrumentalist John Raham, Obadiah came to life with the help of an intimate assembly of guests. Trish Klein of The Be Good Tanyas lay down yards of velvety smooth electric guitar, while next-door neighbor Caroline Ballhorn, contributed vocals to "Gospel Song" and "Hey Little Mama." Ford�s landlord even dropped in to play keyboards, as Cuban style chords go back and forth with warm Wurlitzer licks on the playful "Like You Better." By putting her faith in an assortment of capable companions, Ford let the songs unfold naturally, embracing the little experiments and happy accidents that give the album so much character.

The Glasgow Americana festival will take place at various venues across the city from 6 -10 October 2010. For full information please visit www.glasgowamericana.com
