David Ogilvy March 22nd

Where David Ogilvy's first two albums, 2001's 'Like It Is' and 2004's 'Mockingbird', found their geographical axis in some imagined sleepy Mexican border town, the Scottish American's third offering, 'Heaven and Earth', sees the porch swing traded for a barstool, set stage-right in a long neglected yet supremely exclusive members bar where velvet rules over plaid, night over day, and town over country. 'Heaven and Earth' was recorded piecemeal over the course of a year - in between the writing of a mass for a Soho based gospel choir for a performance in Westminster Cathedral, and the producing and co-writing of an acclaimed album for Anglo American singer songwriter, Christina Kulukundis. The multi-instrumentalist, rated by The Times as "West London's J.J. Cale", gathered together the same collective of journeymen (and women) musicians from his first two outings and set about putting 'Heaven and Earth' to tape.

"A Scottish-American (via Notting Hill) country bluesman and fan of JJ Cale and Townes Van Zandt, Ogilvy deserves to win over the fans of his heroes with his third album. Heaven and Earth is so warm, Ogilvy's delivery so laid-back, that you feel as if you could knock it back with a single ice cube in a whisky tumbler. Gems include Stick Around, a sultry pedal-steel number, and Hey Jimmy Shand, a gently rollocking tribute to the Scottish dance-band leader..." **** The Times
