”How to get your love” is the second single from the debut album from Red Sky July.
The band are a new name to me, but when you look at the members you’ll see that there is a lot of talent and experience here – you have husband and wife team Shelly Poole (Alisha’s attic) and Ally McErlaine (Texas) plus Charity Hair (The Alice Band). In 2009 they wrote and recorded their album, but Ally suffered a major brain aneurysm and everything was put on hold while he recovered. Last summer the band got back together and wrote some new songs before recording the final version of the album live in Bristol.
This is a fantastic song that I must have listened to 30 or 40 times since it dropped through my letterbox yesterday. It’s got a folk influenced acoustic rock sound that is very similar to that of Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald. It’s got a great uplifting tune and some beautiful vocals along with great well crafted lyrics. If this song is representative fof the rest of the album then the album is definitely something to look forwards to.
