Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth

“Listening to Bobby Gillespie and Jehnny Beth’s collaborative album Utopian Ashes is to hear both artists as never before – a Scottish-French union that, in its exploration of classic male-female dynamic sees Gillespie channel the emotional articulacy of the 70s songwriters he loves and finds Beth confronted with a newfound revelation of melody. If you like the sad country soul of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris’s Grievous Angel and George Jones and Tammy Wynette’s We Go Together, you’ll like this. And that’s not the algorithm talking.”
