Flesh & Blood

Sandi Thom is back with 'Flesh & Blood', which was recorded at Nashville's legendary 16 Tons studio with celebrated Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson in the production hot seat. The fourth Sandi Thom album is, she says, "the first album I've done that is really all about me."

It's a sound that combines the blues-rock raunch of belting opening track 'Help Me' with the balladic, country-flavoured charm of 'In The Pines'; that shows how to funk it up, as on the strutting, clavinet-led 'Stormy Weather'; and that knows how to break your heart, as with the movingly climactic finale track, 'Lay Your Burden Down'.

Featuring a core studio band led by Black Crowes Rich Robinson, drummer Steve Gorman and fellow Black Crowe and widely travelled session star Audley Freed on guitar, respected Nashville stars Mike Webb (keys/Dobro) and James Haggerty (bass) complete the line-up along with special guest appearances from acclaimed singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte Marie and famous Rolling Stones collaborator, saxophonist Bobby Keys.
