Happy release day to the wonder that is Ed Askew: whose musical life began with the 10-stringed tiple in the 1950s & ended with his death last year, aged 84, on the verge of releasing this final record. I wrote all about him here – give it a read: listen to the music, spread the word:

‘His chords are like sheets of diamond ice’: the beguiling psych-folk of late cult songwriter Ed Askew

The late songwriter released around 50 records, writing gay love songs and effortless folk songs from folk’s fringes. Fans including Bill Callahan explain his singular brilliance
