Product Description

Amazon.co.uk review

Prolific British singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore returns with her eighth album in ten years, and it will come as no surprise to those that have followed her work since she was a teenager that Liejacker is as dense with natural smoky jazz mannerisms, fine folk details and stark soul-searching lyrics as anything she’s committed to record before. The humble consistency across these 12 original tracks, and one slightly obtuse but perfectly infectious country cover of Dead Or Alive’s "You Spin Me Round Like A Record", is particularly noticeable, surpassing even that of 2005’s fêted major label debut Harpo’s Ghost. This record is much softer, less glossy, and knowingly less bold--suiting her reacquaintance with an independent label. Yet it still tugs as intently at your heartstrings with the willing, deeply set melodies evident through "Old Soul", an effective, wanting duet with Dave McCabe of The Zutons, the waltzing autumnal "Dance In New York" and woozy baritone jazz of "Wrong Side". In Liejacker she has crafted a record that fairly closely peers Kathryn Williams’ stirring Brit folk, or Beth Orton with weights around her dainty ankles. But it especially thrives on an often astonishingly powerful voice, exhibiting great range and echoing established talents like Annie Lennox or Alison Moyet. Fame surely can’t evade her forever, as this once again reminds that she leaves lightweights Katie Melua and Norah Jones in the shade every time. --James Berry

5.0 out of 5 stars True Brilliance., 9 May 2008
By Mr. R. C. Neil "spirit of vambo" (Prestwick Ayrshie) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Helped along with a few friends including Joan Baez, Erin Mckeown and Waterboy Steve Wickham, Thea has created an album of sparse beauty. The opening track "Old Soul" gives more than a slight nod to The Waterboys "Strange Boat" and sets the mood perfectly for an album full of heartfelt songs and sheer emotion. I dare anyone to listen to "Slow Journey" and not to be moved. Two strong contenders for song of the year can be found in "When I Get Back To Shore" and "The Lower Road". Maybe the bonus track of "You Spin Me Right Round" is not everyones cup of tea but you can easily forgive her for the twelve tracks of true brilliance that go before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thea should be a superstar, 17 Jul 2008
Having seen her at Norwich recently this girl is truly amazing. Liejacker should be a number 1 album, the single old soul should have charted top 10 and the track "roll on" should be her black horse & cherry tree. Such a talented singer songwriter. I can only feel sorry for those who haven't yet discovered her. If you only buy one album this year make it this one, you won't be disappointed

5.0 out of 5 stars Different but brilliant, 13 Sep 2008
By Ann L (Wales) - See all my reviews
Took a couple of listens to get into Liejacker but now I'm hooked. Is there no limit to Thea's talent?

Brilliant on CD but to see her perform live is unforgetable - she engages with the audience, she's witty, personable, rude too! - she made us laugh, then she tugged at the heart strings with her next song. One amazing lady.

Not a bad cd but track 9 is truly awful. Not as anywhere as good as Duffy or the brillant Beth Rowley

Thea's previous album Harpo's Ghost had some gems on it but in places it lacked the rawness and emotion of her earlier work and live performances. Not so Liejacker. Read more
