The wider world continues to wake up to the homespun maverick genius of King Creosote, aka Kenny Anderson, currently Fife’s favourite son, and the founder of Anstruther-based musical community the Fence Collective.
2007 ushered in his second major-label release Bombshell, on Warners subsidiary 679, an album blithely unruffled by the plaudits heaped on its predecessor, KC Rules OK, and revelling in the full spectrum of its creator’s mercurial songcraft. ‘Lovelorn alt.folk with a dagger-like tartan twist,’ enthused the Observer Music Monthly, ‘Bombshell is his finest moment yet.’
Citing such seminal folk artists as Anne Briggs, Martin Carthy and Dick Gaughan among his wide-ranging influences, Anderson’s Fence Collective homeboy James Yorkston interweaves haunting interpretations of traditional ballads among his own stirringly evocative compositions, with one critic describing a recent London show as a ‘truly life-affirming celebration of great songwriting’.
