Singer/songwriter/actor John Tams has been a leading figure in the British folk scene for over 30 years. A cornerstone of the greatest Albion band line-up (which produced the majestic "Rise Up Like The Sun") and founding member of The Home Service, John"s only previous solo album, "Unity" (TOP #508), won the BBC Folk Awards in 2001 for Best Album and Best Original Song. As you would expect from someone as steeped in the traditional narrative of the folk song and the story telling arts of theatre, the tracks on "Home" are as strong on lyrical content and imagery as they are on melody and musical invention. The accompaniments range from simple acoustic to full electric, and the album features Graeme Taylor, Barry Coope, Andy Seward, Alan Dunn, Keith Angel and Rosie Tams.
