Artist: Edwin Williamson
Album: The Westend Sessions
Label: Incarnation Records
2022
Edwin Williamson’s unrestrained baritone recalls Scott Walker, blending rich melodies with a raw acoustic sensibility. His captivating songs, reminiscent of Nick Drake in their elemental lyricism, speak to urban wastelands peopled by poet junkies, gamblers, and femme fatales, all the while being tinged with a gritty world-weary swagger worthy of Johnny Cash or Nick Cave.
The Westend Sessions is the result of a collaboration between singer songwriter Astrid Williamson, Edwin’s sister, during the Covid19 lockdowns of 2020/21 and is released on Incarnation Records on 24th November 2022.
Released November 25, 2022

"You'll never leave the weathered docks of our loving minds...
For you are in the moon, the wind and through the whole evening song you are the sailor in eternity whose journey is not gone.."
