This music of many-layered depth is produced with just four instruments at any given moment. Jane Harbour (violin/viola), Jon Hunt (acoustic guitar/cello), Alex Vann (mandolin) and Jason Sparkes (piano accordion/piano) break through the boundaries of their instruments and play them in unconventional ways to create music that has variously been called “dazzling", "magnificent", "intense and minimal", "soulful", “passionate" and "breathtakingly moving”.

The title of this particular track is a line from The Song of Amergin, from the Robert Graves work The White Goddess. 

"Amergin was the bard of an early race of Gauls called the Milesians. It's an invocation they offered when they were about to invade Ireland and were hit by a massive storm, following which the sea became calm."

Dhafer Youssef - Blending Souls & Shades (to Shiraz)

Sounds start like a journey of the flesh walking on a desert, feeling a caustic desert soil on his feet, and purple energy of the earth follows him. Then, the purple energy of the earth appears and ask the reason of his journey. He talks about percussions of his brain orchestra, contrabass on his heart (8:59). He says that he want to find his unique and perfect love on this longest route. The energy lets him to go to find "unlimited tolerance, goodness, charity and awareness through love"(9:20). After the scream of truth(9.52), the flesh starts to purify from some of body pieces and continue to follow the unfinished route of mountain. Hence, this route hosts a white plume, heavy and viscous clouds, unexpected fire on tiny dessert sands, sand spout in daylight. Black and white together.

The "energy" whispers behind the passenger:
"I'm glad that God has chosen me to be your host,
I'm glad to see you again."

The passenger smiles and whisper by himself: "It's rude to whisper in front of others. You look behind my body, i'm in front of you. I will be quiet. It's early to talk like it's just last coincidence"

A true blues legend, his approach influenced the likes of Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and Son House. This Rough Guide presents a lovingly remastered selection of his varied repertoire, from deepest blues to raucous ragtime and God-fearing gospel.

THE ROUGH GUIDE TO BLUES LEGENDS: BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON
Blind Lemon Jefferson sang his own epitaph throughout this life, a grizzly anecdote that forms the refrain of his most well-known and most-covered song, ‘See That My Grave Is Kept Clean’. Characteristic of his style, the lyrics to the song are laced through with sour notes of irony that are underpinned by his brooding bluesy guitar.

Blind Lemon Jefferson’s life is a riddle of ironies and inconsistencies to the modern-day investigator. Even the extent of his sight impairment is contestable. What can be known for certain is the far-reaching arm of his lasting influence. His style formed the basis of the blues paradigm echoed by the likes of Charley Patton, Furry Lewis and Barbecue Bob. His classic recordings also influenced such legends as Robert Johnson, Son House, B.B. King and Lightnin’ Hopkins. Stretching even further, folk and rock musicians such as Bob Dylan and Carl Perkins later reflected his influence, too.

Jefferson’s songs have varying inspirations: ‘Jack O’Diamonds’ is a Texan folk ballad sung by railroad men gambling in hot and dusty bars, while ‘Corinna Blues’ was inspired by the popular American song ‘See See Rider Blues’, first recorded by Gertrude ‘Ma’ Rainey in 1924. His songs also give differing impressions of the man: ‘Black Snake Moan’ paints him out as a womanizer, while ‘All I Want Is Pure Religion’ regarded in connection with stories of his refusal to play on a Sunday for any amount, suggests an altogether different image. Marvel at the mystery and drown in Jefferson’s heady bluesy brew on this lovingly remastered Rough Guide.

The bumper bonus album explores the artists that Jefferson inspired. His sound resonated with the likes of Skip James, Leadbelly, Blind Willie McTell and Memphis Minnie, all heard here.
