The Elf Princess
This song’s a couple of years old now, and was played frequently by my former group. When I wrote it, it was arranged for acoustic guitar, fiddle and mandolin, but I thought it was high time for it to rise phoenix-like from the ashes and change shape somewhat. So, gone are the nice lilting rhythms [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Jack O’ DiamondsHere’s a song I was reminded of, in a roundabout way, by performing “On Ilkley Moor ‘Baht ‘At” to the tune of The House Of The Rising Sun last weekend at the Wolverley Summer Of Love festival.
And, just like The House Of The Rising Sun, it’s a song in which a gambler laments his ruined [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
If You Could Read My MindThe two singers who inspire me most are Johnny Cash and Scott Walker, and ever since hearing Cash’s version of Gordon Lightfoot’s If You Could Read My Mind on his posthumously-released “American V: A Hundred Highways” album, it’s been simmering away at the back of my mind.

Palmer offers the following notes:
The clerk in the ballad was no doubt a [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
The Cruel Mother - version 1I thought it might be an interesting exercise to record several completely disparate versions of the same song, and as I played a version of “The Cruel Mother” at the Traditional Song Session at the Midland Arts Centre last Thursday, May 3rd, I decided to go for that one.
It’s an unpleasant little tale, that’s for [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Download - Head For The CountryWho said folk songs had to be quiet, anyway?This is a song I wrote a couple of years ago, which, now that the Telecaster has been dusted off, I thought I’d revisit with guitars turned up to 11. I normally play this song on concertina, but this version is just electric guitars, a drum loop, [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Download - Mercedes BenzHere’s another song I’ve recorded just for the fun of it.It occurred to me that I seldom, if ever, bother to record songs that I sing without any instrumental accompaniment.So I thought it was about time I did.I never really understood why “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz” was [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
