How Chakori Found The Moon & Other Stories

STCD 008

Sensational Debut CD Album from 20 year old singer/songwriter/guitarist. Abie Budgen from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire in the United Kingdom. If you like 'roots music' with a strong blues influence, you will love Chakori. Apart from the Skip James cover of 'Devil Got My Man' (track 5), this is an all original release. Even the Skip James cover is transformed by the addition of a Kora to great affect.

The album also features the great harmonica player, Johnny Mars on 4 tracks. From the sound of a 5 piece band to solo and duo performances, Abie stands out with her unique vocal style.
