Ground of Its Own
Sam’s Mercury Award nominated 2012 debut album is a work several years in conception which brought together a multitude of experiences and influences for a musician who has cut an unique course in his artistic development. This 8-track release mixed by the legendary John Wood (of Nick Drake fame) comprises material gleaned from years of research and exploration into the forgotten songs and sounds of the British Isles.
Sam Lee’s storytelling is as emphatic as it is empathetic and this perfectly executed debut album modernises staple motifs with true originality.
