Jackie Oates

hyperboreans

Newly signed to One Little Indian Records, on September 7^th 2009 Jackie released the highly anticipated follow-up to ‘The Violet Hour’.

‘Hyperboreans’ is the coming-of-age album for Jackie Oates.  Produced by her brother Jim Moray and featuring a title track written for her by Alasdair Roberts, it sizzles with a new confidence and maturity.  Her uniquely beautiful vocal comes to the fore throughout the album adding a new freshness to traditional songs including ‘The Pleasant Month Of May’ and ‘Young Leonard’.  There is a show-stopping and deeply moving rendition of Past Caring based on a poem by Australian Henry Lawson as well as a joyfully breezy cover of Birthday by The Sugarcubes.  The album concludes with an unforgettable performance of May The Kindness by little-known Devon songwriter Dave Wood.
