LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Changeable Heart’ - Ruth Notman and Sam Kelly

Our featured track today is the beautiful and soaring first single from an exciting new duo, bringing together two of the finest folk voices Sam Kelly and Ruth Notman. Their new debut duo album ‘Changeable Heart’ is set for release on March 15th via Pure Records. The album is produced by the very talented Damien O’Kane and I think this track has a similar feel and style to Kate Rusby’s last album. Damien also guests on acoustic and electric tenor guitar, baritone guitar and tenor banjo, alongside Josh Clark on percussion, synth and electric bass, Anthony Davis on keyboards and strings and Ross Ainslie on whistles. We think the album is set to be one of the most folk exciting releases of 2019.

Sam had long admired Ruth’s musical talent. He says: “In my mind it was depriving the folk scene with her not performing.” He decided to contact her out of the blue. Ruth was completing her medical studies; the pair met and got on and the stage was set for them to work together.

Watch out for a full album review coming very soon

Ruth and Sam will be touring the UK in early April with their London date at Rich Mix on April 8th
