In 2020 I wrote a Celtic instrumental album, as I needed to chill and centre myself and figured so did lots of other people. This year I’m just finishing off an album of old African American spirituals and slave songs brought up to date in a bluesy gospel style — a homage to those often unknown great musicians. Those songs have such a wonderful mix of agony and hope and again it seemed so relevant today in so many ways. Isn’t music amazing.
