This year marks 55 years since Claire Hamill released her first album, the star-studded “One House Left Standing” that demonstrated the English artist’s strengths as both singer and songwriter, and could there be a better way to celebrate the anniversary of her debut than picking up where it left off by offering a new record with a more mature view of the same perennial themes. Titled “A House Among The Trees” and scheduled to arrive on April 25th, it also continues the path of 2022’s "A Pocket Full Of Love Songs" and “Troubadour” from 2025.

But while the setting is similar here, this platter features two special guests, as “The Werewolf And The Maiden Wings Of Freedom” is fleshed out with David Knopfler’s ivories and “Intoxicating” with Mark Abrahams’s guitar, the former player known for his DIRE STRAITS past and the latter for his WISHBONE ASH present. And there’s also a band to drive the performances, the collective this album is credited to, as opposed to the chanteuse per se.
