Deluxe 2CD of the classic 'Prodigal Son' album. Including a bonus disc with live tracks and sleeve notes by Colin Irwin. This Folk album was originally released in 2007 and was hailed a classic, receiving 4- and 5-star reviews in such publications as The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Daily Express and Observer. Tracks like â??Duncan & Bradyâ?? an American ballad originally recorded by Leadbelly and â??Good Morning Mr. Railroad Manâ?? clearly indicate Martin Simpsons love for traditional American roots music and the wonderful cover of Randy Newmanâ??s track â??Louisiana 1927â?? delve into historical event territory. The bonus disc features 9 live tracks recorded at the Union Chapel in Islington, London on 13th November 2007 and features Andy Cutting, Andy Seward and Kellie While in Martin Simpsons band for the gig. - INCL. TRIBUTE TO LEADBELLY

Simpson's album "Prodigal Son" demonstrates his further growth as a player, singer and composer, with an eclectic mix of British and American traditional and composed songs as well as some stunning compositions of his own. He has also brought in musicians of superb caliber to enhance the recording. Kate Rusby and Kellie While add backing vocals, there is Danny Thompson on bass and Andy Cutting on accordion and the great Jackson Browne adds vocals to Simpson's masterful take on the Randy Newman classic, "Louisiana 1927", a tribute to New Orleans where he lived for several years. Other highpoints are his own compositions "Never Any Good" which he wrote for his father and the instrumental piece "Mother Love" written for his daughter Molly. Housed in a striking digipack, with outstanding photography by David Angel, the complete package of "Prodigal Son" is Simpson's best to date.
