Ashton Lane: Magic In The Air (Redhed Records) IT’S very rare that the title track of an album sums up a complete description of what the listener can expect within.
However that is the case with a new release from Ashton Lane. On one hand Ashton Lane is a cobbled street in the West End of Glasgow, on the other they are one of the most exciting trios to emerge on the country scene over the last ten years.
Comprising of husband and wife team Esther and Tim O Connor, and brother James Duffin the trio are now into their third release.
The band have honed their way into a modern country/pop contemporary styling that would fit easily into the current Nashville charts at the drop of a hat.
Of the 13 songs featured on the album the band have written eleven which also adds to their credibility as singer/ songwriters.
Instrumentally a mix of acoustic and lead guitars fill the musical output admirably, complemented by a great overall mix from producer Graeme Duffin who many will remember from the 1980/90’s pop band Wet Wet Wet.
