Roberts, Alasdair / No Earthly Man

Drag City

Over the course of three albums of original music with the band APPENDIX OUT and a pair of albums under his own name, Scotsman ALASDAIR ROBERTS has been moving toward a purer understanding, exploration and interpretation of the traditional song of the British Isles. No Earthly Man is an eight-song collection of death ballads that Roberts approaches with a musicological fervor, acknowledging the long tradition of each song, while making them entirely his own. Emotional, resonating, and eerily beautiful. Produced by WILL OLDHAM.
