Jackie Leven – Night Lilies (Cooking Vinyl)

Positive short review of the “Scottish friend of Bergen”: the title track opens, with a Dylan feel, a gloriously melancholy record in the line of the earlier solo albums; with his paws firmly in British folk music, Leven tells stories that cut through the skin, the airy atmosphere gives a cool dreamlike feeling, and he never provokes with boorishness. Music for late autumn evenings, preferably with Leven's own whisky in the glass, when you want to find out what went wrong – “Jackie Leven knows the answer”.
