Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Hey Sammy is the long awaited ninth solo album by Edale-born singer songwriter Bella Hardy, a record that bears the stamps of extensive musical expeditions far from home. In the time since 2015's five-star reviewed With The Dawn, Bella temporarily relocated to Nashville where she became immersed in Music City's culture of collaborative songwriting and also worked happily in the company of horses as a ranch hand. Produced by Paul Savage (The Delgados, Mogwai, Arab Strap) at Glasgow's Chem19 studio, Hey Sammy combines innovative, artful arrangements that at times bring to mind Bon Iver, Midlake and Joni Mitchell's Hejira, with an unabashed embrace of gleeful, melodic choruses delivered in Bella's unmistakable soaring and swooping voice.
