RUDY WARMAN & THE HEAVY WEATHER
"Mystical, folky blues. Is it a thing? Yeah. Now, it is anyway. There’s no better way to describe Rudy Warman and The Heavy Weather. From Folkestone, they being with them a sound like no one else. There is a real class about songs like “Air” and “Supertramp” which when mixed with the feel that they might have just pitched up here on their way back from Glastonbury, that makes – rather like Exile on Main St era Stones’ – Heavy Weather anything but. Shimmering and summery, this is music for a hammock on a cloudless day. This chilled out, blissed out vibe is rather exemplified by their closing number “Gazelle” a gorgeous strum of a thing dedicated to the children of war, this is peace and love, and needs your understanding."
