Two years into his sixth decade as a recording artist, Ralph McTell releases his new album Hill Of Beans. 74, Kent born, Croydon raised, much travelled & unassuming, Ralph remains an English musical legend. In the time honoured fashion of an artist who has always defined his own artistic terms, Hill Of Beans is a work of grace; experience and learning, natural poise, deep substance, the core of it's harmonic and melodic riches contained in voice, songs and six stringed guitar glory. His first album of originals since 2010's acclaimed Somewhere Down The Road, Hill of Beans reunites McTell with producer Tony Visconti, who was there right at the start of McTell's recording career. The latter day reconnection came after a chance meeting in London earlier this decade.
