THE RAILS, Kami Thompson & James Walbourne, London 13-2-17 \u00a9 Jill Furmanovsky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kami Thompson & James Walbourne deliver pure gold ahead of\u00a0<\/b><\/span>9 UK headline dates this September and\u00a0<\/b><\/span>supporting The Pretenders in October.<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Critically acclaimed country\/folk duo The Rails, Kami Thompson and husband James Walbourne, return with a stunning new record this autumn.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Other People\u2019 will be released on September 1st via Sony \/ Red Essential.<\/p>\n

Recorded in Nashville and produced by Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams) the album features ten brand new Thompson\/Walbourne original songs that showcase their trademark harmonies and vocal prowess.<\/p>\n

The Rails 2014 debut album \u2018Fair Warning\u2019, produced by Edwyn Collins, had critics gushing. It was chosen as Mojo\u2019s best folk album that year and the band went on to be presented the Horizon Award for Best New Act at Radio Two\u2019s prestigious Folk Awards in 2015. The new album lives up to expectations as we hear The Rails adopt a slightly harder edged sound that incorporate elements of folk, 60’s pop, psychedelia and soul with a distinctive British flavour.<\/p>\n

James is one of the country\u2019s finest guitarists and full time member of the Pretenders, he also plays with both Ray Davies and the Pogues. Kami is folk rock royalty, daughter of Richard and Linda Thompson, sister to Teddy. The couple began working together in 2011 and married the following year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Other People\u2019 was recorded at Room & Board Studios in Nashville and features James on guitars and keyboards, drummer Cody Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), bassist Jim Boquist (Son Volt) and Eric Heywood (Ray Lamontagne) on pedal steel. Kami lends her exquisite voice and acoustic guitar playing to the proceedings.<\/p>\n
