apparently it's been five years since the last one - some days it feels like 500 - at times i thought there wouldn't be another one - but then i wrote some songs that i felt equalled and maybe even bettered the ones on keep going - so i recorded them & here they are. this is the 8th lilac time record and i think my 15th in total - i don't know why i mention that - just trying to add some invaluable back ground. although perhaps better known for being the original spoons player in freddy and the dreamers he prefers to be remembered for translating ezra pound into a broad black country accent. one of the high points of this record for me was working with the legendary danny thompson - whose work with the incredible string band pentangle & nick drake - to name but three - i have loved and been inspired by. the artwork is lovely too - at this rate by the time we release the next album there wont be any cd's - so enjoy the artwork while you can. a mini album "happy birthday peace" will be out soon x

After reading Mr SAJD's own review, I thought I'd be the first fan to add some thoughts on yet another quality release by Stephen and his Lilac pals.
Since their respective releases, Lilac 6 and Keep Going have been on almost permanent rotation in my house, car, i-pod thingy, etc, etc - driving my neighbours, dogs (Alfie & Dewi say hi to Arthur), family and friends insane. Well after listening to Runout Groove in full twice so far, I can safely say that it will soon join it's predecessors at the very top of the poppermost tree!!!
The opening track, Another Time, is the perfect opener, setting the melancholy mood which always seems to grip me when listening to a Lilac Time album - which is no bad thing. Driving Somewhere lifts the pace and mood a little and was an excellent choice for the first single. It sounded great on the odd occasion BBC Radio 2 & 6 chose to play it and deserves a much wider audience.
The whole album is full of highlights, with A Dream Of A Girl, Pruning The Vine and Happy Go Lucky already early favourites of mine. Stephen and Claire's (Worrall) vocals harmonise perfectly - particularly on the Everly's cover, Until I Kissed You.
The Lilac Time are an unknown pleasure who are cherished by those of us who have been lucky enough to discover them along the way. Unlike most artists, Stephen's writing and melodies seem to improve with age, which is perhaps partly due to him not ever chasing the limelight and playing the fame game. I guess he writes mainly for himself, with almost perfect results.
If you already aware of the Lilac Time, well I'm preaching to the converted and you'll be buying this album regardless. However, if you've got here by chance - go on, take the plunge and buy this album. You won't regret it.
Here's to another great concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall next month and many more years of enjoying Stephen and the Lilac's music. Wonderful!

Nice one Mr Duffy, my faith in music has been restored. My good friend Dave got me into your music and i have never looked back. The artwork is superb and you have to play the album a few times for it to grow. This is the mark of real music i feel. I love the Aldermaston track-echoes of the early days of lilac Time. The only slight critism is i would have welcomed the release on Vinyl..
Keep going

Laid back songs with a country flavour
As a massive fan of Mr Duffy's pop alter ego (I Love My Friends is one of my favorite albums - full stop) I've bought a couple of Lilac Time albums out of curiosity. Read more
