Malcolm Holcombe, ”Bits & Pieces” (Proper Music/Need To Know)

Listening to “Bits & Pieces” it isn’t too difficult to understand why roots music luminaries such as Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams should speak of his work in such glowing terms. Malcolm’s perceptive insights into the human condition are delivered in the world weary tones of someone who’s no stranger to life’s trials and tribulations, and this compelling singer-songwriter’s 18th album benefits, as always, from the invaluable presence of his perennial musical partner, the supremely gifted multi-instrumentalist Jared Tyler.
