 Martin Simpson - Topic Records

 Martin Simpson Interview - 1997
At the top of any short list of the world’s greatest acoustic guitarists, Simpsons’ instrumental collections of traditional melodies and Irish Airs (Leaves of Life and When I Was On Horseback) released by Shanachie Records in the early nineties have been hailed worldwide for their timeless beauty.
1997 has found Simpson in much more capable hands with the good folks at Red House Records and two more brilliant titles are on the shelves; the mostly instrumental “Cool And Unusual” and the aptly titled “Live”, taken from a single show and a beautiful showcase for the many talents of this Acoustic raconteur.
Not only is Simpson a wonderful performer but he is a patient and insightful teacher as evidenced on his 3 instructional videos for Homespun Videos and his brilliant book on altered tunings for Accent on Music.

Martin Simpson is one of the most visible examples of the relationship between the Celtic folk of the United Kingdom and American musics such as country and the blues, which branched away from their British sources as American immigrants grew distanced from their past countrymen.
Born in the Humberside town of Scunthorpe in northern England, Simpson began playing guitar at the age of twelve, and just two years later was playing local pubs.
During the mid-'90s, the Simpsons played with a group called the Band of Angels and recorded for such labels as Rhiannon, Red House and Waterlily Acoustic.
