The second CD 'Down Any Road' from Kevin Buxton was released this month. Kevin is one of the most interesting singer songwriters working on the acoustic music scene today, creating powerful music that fuses folk, roots and blues with percussion and ambient sound.

The CD was made with the Kontra Band, utilising the talents of Kevin Buxton on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica. Al Tait on vocals, electric bass, mandolin and acoustic guitar. Trevor Timson on keyboards, Paul de Gallier on backing vocals, drums and percussion. Joanne Cottam on flute, violin and viola, and Thea de Gallier who provided vocals on 'Long Distance Call'.

'Down Any Road' is available for £7.50 from Coalshed Music or directly from Kevin Buxton.
