Legendary guitarist and songwriter Martin Simpson will release his new album Some Kind of Jubilee on Topic Records , his musical home for more than two decades. The record marks a remarkable milestone— 50 years since the release of Simpson’s debut album, Golden Vanity (1976) —and, in his own words, captures “my best work to date.” For this landmark recording, Martin has gathered an extraordinary ensemble of collaborators he has met along his storied career. The album features performances from: Greg Leisz (Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell) – pedal steel guitar Zac Hobbs (Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Emmylou Harris) – guitar Liz Hanks (Richard Hawley, Liam Gallagher) – cello Louis Campbell (Sam Sweeney, Sam Lee) – guitar Ben Nicholls (Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon) – double bass Recorded at Jackson Browne’s Groovemaster studio in Santa Monica and completed in Yorkshire , the album weaves together newly written songs, reimagined traditional material, and fresh interpretations of classics from Simpson’s extensive catalogue. Simpson’s journey began with Golden Vanity , recorded and produced by Bill Leader at Leader Sound and originally released on the Trailer label. Half a century later, Some Kind of Jubilee both honours that legacy and showcases the creative vitality of one of folk music’s most revered artists. “an excellent record from a master of his craft” – KLOF MAG “acoustic finger-picking magic” – UNCUT “Penguin Eggs-good.
