Sarah Morris Jane - Bloody Rain

2014 album from the British Soul, Jazz and R&B singer. Morris topped the UK Pop charts for a month in 1986 (with the Communards' disco version of 'Don't Leave Me This Way') and then eloquently and joyously sidestepped the mainstream ever after. BLOODY RAIN is her ambitious new collection of love songs, tributes, warnings and protests that she regards as the best album of her life. Devoted to the people of Africa, and the music of that continent that has inspired so many artists for so long, BLOODY RAIN brings together a stunningly diverse group of performers. Among a raft of guests are the Zimbabwe-born singer Eska, Senegal's Seckou Keita on kora, UK-Caribbean saxophonist Courtney Pine, the Soweto Gospel Choir, American/Israeli jazz trumpeter Avishai Cohen, former James Brown arranger Pee Wee Ellis - and of course the soulmates from Morris's touring band, including Sting sideman Dominic Miller, and guitarist Tony Remy.
