{"product_id":"simpson-martin-purpose-grace-music-cd-714822058421","title":"Simpson,martin - Purpose + Grace - Music CD","description":"'Purpose + Grace' marks a bold and confident step for Simpson. The wide-ranging repertoire and exemplary performances he has coaxed from his fellow performers make this his finest recording to date. 'Purpose + Grace' takes it's very apposite title from the great American songwriter Yip Harburg (composer of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime' and 'Only a Paper Moon');\"I am one of the last of a small tribe of troubadours who still believe that life is a beautiful and exciting journey with a purpose and grace well worth singing about.\" the album marks a bold and confident step for Simpson. Building upon the strengths of 'Prodigal Son and 'True Stories', like a movie producer, he conceived the whole project over a number of months and then invited some of his favourite musicians to bring their stellar talents to the recording sessions. Jon Boden, B J Cole, Dick Gaughan, Fay Hield, Will Pound, June Tabor and Richard Thompson join Martin's regular band - Andy Cutting, Andy Seward and Keith Angel - on an exemplary series of performances. The material shifts from Anglo-American ballads, Scots and English traditional songs to new compositions from Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson, the aforementioned Yip Harburg and Martin Simpson.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49223238811890,"sku":"TPC584X.2","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/simpson-martin-purpose-grace-music-cd-714822058421","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
