Calum Carlyle – Honesty And Thorns

Honesty And Thorns is the third full length CD album I have recorded, officially released on Friday 8th January 2010. It’s a solo project, except for a guest appearance by Jimmy Carlyle on the mandolin in The Sound of Falling in Love at First Sight.

An acoustic adventure through life’s lushest, and most arid, landscapes, Honesty And Thorns takes you on a journey of discovery dealing with modern relationships of all kinds. It reflects the myriad ways that modern life can be viewed. It includes at least one love song, a few anti-love songs, a new adaptation of the Hebrew Song At The Sea, and more besides. Come along for the journey, as this album plumbs the depths and comes back looking for more.
