Alibi Of Innocence - Jon Harvison

Lonely as the Moon - Jon Harvison

to the high standards Jon is now capable of. On the whole, it is a good piece of work, but not as sophisticated as more recent recordings. Jon Harvison is a songer songwriter with a strong folk influence on his work. The album features work from several folk notables - the depressingly multi-talented Steafan Hannigan, (who seems to play every instrument under the sun) and fiddler Tom McConville. The tracks: Mask: Not a good start because it does give the wrong impression of the album - it sounds like a 1950s recording, and has a touch of rock and roll influence. Bit of navel gazing in the lyrics. (behind this mask is a man of many faces" well enough ...

Knight's Gambit - Jon Harvison

his previous albums, is entirely traditional. It's a very fine piece of work, featuring performances from some notable folk persons.
