| | | | Telegraph is the 3rd solo album from the Donegal- born singer-songwriter who just gets better and better.
There are few inventive writers who have such an easy and winning way with melody, and certainly only a handful who have managed to create a signature sound so rich in Americana. The more one listens to this warm, understated album of fine detail, the more there is to hear.
Doherty wrote and produced all 12 tracks, and they cover a wide area, including many topical references, not least the faux music hall of A Brief History of Our Times, and a fascinating retelling of the Irish story in the epic Tugboat.
Doherty’s soulful, unhurried tenor and sceptical, slightly amused attitude sets the tone throughout for what is undoubtedly one of the year’s best albums.
Today’s show features Kevin with a full band and stunning new audio-visual material. | | | | | |
