Overview:
"Impeccable folk rock pedigree’ MOJO, ‘a force worth taking seriously’ Guardian New Band Of The Day, ‘folk-rock royalty-in-waiting. 8/10” – Uncut
The Rails, Kami Thompson (daughter of Richard and Linda) and her husband James Walbourne (Pretenders, Pouges, solo), make folk music for 2014. Their debut album, produced by Indie legend Edwyn Collins, ‘Fair Warning’ and second single ‘Breakneck Speed’ are both released May 5th on Island Records. ‘Fair Warning’ features originals alongside new arrangements of traditional songs giving folk music a contemporary edge. The LP is so stunning that Island have resurrected their legendary Pink Label (home of John Martyn, Nick Drake and Fairport Convention) especially for them. Kami Thompson is the youngest daughter of Richard and Linda Thompson, the first couple of Seventies folk rock. She has been a backing singer with Linda, performed with members of the Wainwright family, toured with Sean Lennon and Bonnie Prince Billy and released her own solo album, Love Lies, on Warner Music in 2011. James, a teenage prodigy with a fascination for early rock ‘n’ roll and roots Americana, is now one of the hottest rock guitarists in Britain. He has played with Ray Davies, become part of the touring line up for The Pogues and joined The Pretenders as lead guitarist in 2008. In 2011, he made his first solo album, The Hill, for Heavenly recordings.Supporting Paul Weller on his June/ July Forest Tour.
