Hybrid SACD!
Love, death, politics, social commentary, these are all tools of the singer/songwriter's trade and, whether drawn from life or imagination, Reg Meuross wields them with the best, crafting songs that touch the heart, stimulate the mind. That is certainly true of this SACD, offering a collection of songs revisited from across his career.
Sounding a political note, "England Green & England Grey" details factory closures, corporate greed and the dismantling of the NHS to the backdrop of a hymnal tune that conjures the 'green' of a cultural folk tradition.
Reg's clever and imaginative lyrics have earned him the title of "Master Storyteller" (PennyBlack Music) and led Mike Harding (Mike Harding Folk Show) to introduce him onto the stage of The Royal Albert Hall as "one of the finest singer-songwriters this country has produced".
Reg Meuross is an English singer and songwriter based in Somerset, England. Although active for decades, Reg Meuross is a new discovery for Stockfisch Records: He has been described as "a warm, engaging live entertainer (whose) same easy going feel informs his discs and their songs of love, longing and true life stories".
