Find the One - CD

2012 release, the sixth album from former Long Ryders leader Sid Griffin and his stellar band. Find the One shows The Coal Porters expanding their palette as they take acoustic Folk and Bluegrass into previously uncharted waters. The album features five new Sid Songs, an astonishing campfire cover of David Bowie's classic 'Heroes', a guest appearance by ex-Fairport Convention guitarist Richard Thompson, a two-part instrumental collaboration from the band's virtuosos: fiddler Carly Frey and banjo man John Breese, as well as the first ever appearance of BBC radio legend Brian Matthew on an alt-country recording! To say nothing of a sitar and fiddle battle on the Rolling Stones' immortal 'Paint It, Black'. Produced by the legendary John Wood, the man who recorded Fairport Convention in their glory days and who produced Nick Drake, Squeeze and Beth Orton, Find the One was recorded in North London earlier this year. It was mixed by Ed Stasium in Colorado.
