My Top Albums 2013: Number 4

Rick Redbeard – No Selfish Heart

 
 
A debut solo album that has inner beauty and honesty, Rick Redbeard's 'No Selfish Heart' is a succinct, poetic and engaging listen, which makes it such a crying shame that it is likely far too few people will hear it.
 
With dark humour running throughout the album, the songs follow a more traditional path of finger-picked guitar and folk confessional than witnessed on his band's (The Phantom Band) albums to date, but lose none of the majesty and yearning wistfulness for doing so.
