Billie Marten | Dog Eared | CD 518

'Dog Eared' is a warm, rich, and textured record that bristles with confidence and self-belief, with Billie already approaching the prolificacy of a 'lifer' with so much life left to live. It's a left turn from her previous recordings, albeit a subtle one, taken with a deftness of touch. A musician embracing change, while staying true to her core self. There's a certain strength of conviction here that finds its voice more prominently in the extensive pool of her acclaimed American contemporaries, of which she now surely stands shoulder to shoulder with. With 'Dog Eared', Billie calmly posits herself at the top of the tree of not just British contemporary folk artists, but with British songwriters at large.
