Details:
‘Hitting the Ground Running’ is the latest studio album from 2009 BBC Folk Award winners Chris While and Julie Matthews, and one which showcases the breadth of their musical passion. From ballads rooted deep in the English folk tradition to nostalgic celebrations of the great American songwriter, the eleven new songs capture the energy and musical sophistication which have become the trademarks of the While and Matthews sound over the last 15 years

The diversity of musical styles and themes on the album are matched by the changing backdrop to the songs. The opening track ‘Carved in Stone’ transports the listener to the mountains of Andalucía in Spain, migrating geese in Northern England provide the inspiration for Chris While’s haunting folk lament ‘The Coldest Winds do Blow’, ‘The Darkside Wood’ takes the forests of Australia as its setting and the wilds of Roman Northumberland provide the inspiration for two of the album’s central songs ‘Rock of Gelt’ and ‘Bridge over time’ ‘Rock of Gelt’ is co-written by Julie Matthews and Ruth Notman, whilst the album’s title track, a teenage tale of split loyalties, is a powerful While and Matthews co-write. Though Chris and Julie are both successful solo songwriters it's when they combine their writing talents that the unique nature of their partnership flourishes.
