"One of the finest songwriters I've ever heard, topped with a voice to die for", wrote Peter Doggett, Editor of Record Collector Magazine, about English songwriter Debbie Cassell, whose second solo album 'The Boatman's White Dog' has just been released.



This is the long awaited follow up to the Shropshire-born songwriter's highly regarded 1995 debut 'Angel in Labour'. Since then Debbie has performed all over the UK and Europe with the likes of John Martyn, Ian Matthews, Vikki Clayton and Sally Barker (with whom she sometimes co-writes), has released two albums with her partner Martin Ansell as the duo Woman Wants Tall Man and, most recently, toured Europe as part of the 'Women on Stage' tour with Linde Nijland, Kerstin Blodig and Sara K.

"The best singer songwriters capture their world with such clarity that the particular becomes the universal", wrote Mark Cooper in his 4 Star Q Magazine Review of 'Angel in Labour. "There are echoes of the folk-jazz of John Martyn or Bridget St. John in Cassell's unhurried phrasing and something of Eddi Reader in the way she'll linger on a note but there's a melodic flair that is her own...the songs, the voice and the manner in which Cassell tracks emotions to their source is rare in any era." Mojo Magazine described it as "A fresh, impressive debut by an English singer-songwriter who cites a debt to Joni Mitchell and certainly bears comparison for the cool, jazz-inflected sweetness of her music and the restless, bittersweet sensitivity of her lyrics."
