No Direction Home Festival || Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire || 8-10 June 2012 The omens were not good for the inaugural No Direction Home music festival, setting out in heavy rain that only got heavier as the traffic got slower the further north I went. However, despite the slate grey skies and constant brake lights of the M1, a journey of over 5 hours was rewarded on arrival by a break in the weather than unbelievably lasted for the whole three days. No Direction Home is a new “little brother” venture [...]
Music for those foggy, spooky nights. Rag-and-bone men have a centuries-long tradition of scouring streets in the United Kingdom for any unwanted household items that can be sold to various merchants. According to Liz Green's bio, she has not only rag-and-bone men, but also executioners, back in her family tree. Even if you didn't know that, and even if she didn't have a song called "Rag & Bone", you'd be able to hear that hint of a shadow world in her...
After a stint in university pursuing an English degree and working in bookstores, worried that others might hear her singing, Liz Green started creating her music and developing her voice whenever her family were away from the house. Green went on to release her first single, "Bad Medicine" , in 2007, then a short time later, won the coveted Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition which earned her a slot on the main field. After this promising debut, she seemd to have dropped off the radar. Overcoming stage fright and learning to embrace her unique voice [...]
Today's Live Performance comes courtesy of ARTE TV once again and features Liz Green, according to some the female Tom Waits, minus the alcohol, but plus the British irony.

Mark Lanegan's Blues Funeral comes out today, and if you couldn't tell how excited we were to feature an exclusive album preview this past week and you somehow thrilled we were to host the Mark Lanegan Band live this morning from the Cutting Room Studios in NYC, go back and listen to the performance again later today on our Live Performances Archive and you can practically hear John Richards' head explode when Mark calls him "bro." Awesome. Though Mark Lanegan lives in sunnier southern climes now, he's definitely a legend of Northwest [...]

Here she has reworked the two singles “Bad Medicine'” and “French Singer” into broader, [...]
Liz Green’s soulful vocals and lyrical stories will thrill any fan of blues and folk.
I can't decide what I enjoy more in this song, the woozy brass arrangements that give this song such a classic Jazz sound or the haunting, smokey vocals laid out by Liz that make my spine tingle. To be honest it's most likely the combination of the two that make "Hey Joe" such an amazing tune, but any excuse to keep me listening to this one is good enough reason for me (not that I really need one). Liz is a 28 year-old songwriter from the UK who first came to prominence in 2007 when she won the [...]

Why does everything sound so much more charming when filtered through the magic known as the female British accent? For instance why was it so adorable last weekend when The Staves were wandering around my flat asking who had just shat? In the same way why are semi-standard folk tunes with smatterings of Tom Waits-inspired horns somehow so much more enchanting when UK songstress Liz Green sings them? Her album O, Devotion is out now via Piccadilly Records . MP3: Liz Green - Hey Joe =w=
C'è un immagine che non riesco a togliermi dalla testa ogni volta che questo "O, Devotion" parte: Liz Green , la 'sacerdotessa' in questione, che si esibisce in uno di quei locali anni 50 dalla sala adornata di carta da parati e piena di tavolini tondi, con un palco malandato ma provvisto di sipario. Ecco, uno di quei locali lì, ma semi-deserto. E probabilmente la scena me la immagino in questo modo perchè in realtà vorrei che la cosa accadesse esattamente così. Poter gustare, cioè, questa voce d'altri tempi (i paragoni sono tanto ingombranti quanto azzeccati: Karen [...]
