Today’s MPFree comes from a singer / songwriter “specialising in basement blues, garage gospel and stairwell arias.” So really, what’s not to like. It also should have been yesterday’s MPFree, but it was rather rudely hi-jacked by brand new Slow Club.
Download Jessy Bell Smith – John Mouse*
Jessy Bell Smith inhabits Guelph in Canada and you should take note of her Facebook page: “An old soul in an old town, each song is a recollection, a reminiscence of a faded story. If a person can be haunted by kind spirits, these are their voices singing for you.” Her debut album The Town is out now, and yesterday they were down to their last 8 physical copies of the album, so you'd better be quick – it also comes in a 4 panel card sleeve, with full colour artwork by Angela Drystek. And our very own Cerys Matthews has described one of the tracks thusly: "It just gives me shivers, the whole album is wonderful. She’s like a female Roy Orbison.”
