No One Travels Alone [LP], Jon Brooks, Vinyl

Jon Brooks' sixth album, No One Travels Alone, accomplishes something truly interesting in modern songwriting: borrowing from the Elizabethan sonneteers, the album fulfils a 'corona' of songs. Corona form interconnects each song by first and last lines - the last line of the first song is the first line of the following song, etc... until the final song completes a circle, or corona. This new set of songs is interconnected, as are we; thus it is: 'No One Travels Alone.' The album is produced by ALEC FRASER and features JOHN SHOWMAN - violins, NEIL CRUICKSCHANK - guitar & vocals, ALEC FRASER - bass & vocals, and ED HANLEY - tablas.
