Tom Baxter and 'family' at Dingwalls last night

Man I feel like I was descended upon like musical prey last night at the Baxter 'family' gig. At one point with Charlie Winston, Vashti, the whole band and Tom Baxter smashing their way through a beautifully spanish tinged 'tell her today' I felt blown over. Indeed it was a family affair, ordinarily a cringeworthy moment but when you see all these people on stage and so naturally in this musical moment it is something else. Check out baxer's new album 'skybound' - it has REAL musicians on it, PROPER playing, it was recorded with a LIVE feel, it is produced really nicely (you actually have to turn the volume UP for a change) and most importantly the songwriting is top notch and filled with rich and varied musical styles and ideas.
