Panic Grass & Fever Few

A beautiful and remarkably assured debut album from Ian King,Panic Grass & Fever Few mixes English traditional song with a very contemporary sound palate. Working with the acclaimed On-U sound crew - Adrian Sherwood and Skip 'Little Axe' McDonald - has enabled King to bring a new and exciting perspective to the songs of Old England.'It's been quite a while since I felt this excited and impressed by a singer. Ian King has star-quality and a commanding stage-presence. He is a grown-up singer, straightforward and strong, and his band, which includes the incomparable Skip McDonald, surprises and intrigues with accompaniments that are elegant, witty, daring and powerful. This is English folk music for the 21st century!' - Shirley Collins
