Jez Lowe - The Dillen Doll

Created to accompany the release of his first novel 'The Dillen Dolll', Jez Lowe has recorded a suite of Tyneside folksongs, many of which are referenced within the story, and were the inspiration for the adventures within it. The CD comprises a forty-five minute, continuous piece, with fifteen newly-arranged ballads contained therein. This ambitious and unique album features Jez playing most of the music himself, with additional contributions from his regular band The Bad Pennies (Kate Bramley on violin, Andy May on Northumbrian pipes and David De La Haye on bass and the album's producer), with vocal support from Benny Graham, Rachel Hamer and Kari MacLeod (who also created the evocative artwork on the cover of both book and CD).
