Re-issue of former Bellowhead frontman, Jon Boden’s debut solo album, Painted Lady. Jon is still best known as lead singer (and principle arranger) of the multi-award winning big band Bellowhead. During the band’s 12 years they achieved an unrivalled level of critical and commercial success, playing on virtually every major stage around the UK. Jon decided to stand down in 2015 and on 1st May 2016 Bellowhead played their final gig. Mostly self-penned, Jon Boden’s first solo album, ‘Painted Lady’ is a work of considerable ambition and originality that will surprise those expecting a version of Bellowhead’s full-on, euphoric energy. The album features 12 songs written by Boden and is especially notable for its dazzling array of instrumentation, including fiddle, octave fiddle, concertina, banjo, guitars, double bass, Indian harmonium, glockenspiel, electric piano, and perhaps more unusually for a folk artist, Moog synthesiser and drum machine – all of which are played by Jon Boden. There’s even Jon’s low-fi interpretation of a Whitney Houston classic, <i>I Wanna Dance (with Somebody)</i>.
