2024 Charity Shop Purchases # 70 - Gemma Hayes - The Roads Don't Love You
I know I have been jumping out a bit but it was to save you having to listen to two albums by the same act in close succession.
So six days after giving you The Hollow of Morning by Gemma Hayes I give you The Roads Don't Love You her second album from 2005 and on the Source label purchased at the same time in Thornhill's only charity shop.
It is maybe appropriate to feature an Irish artist given that we attended a funeral in Dublin inbetween the two posts.
I think on balance I slightly prefer The Hollows of Morning. It's not that The Roads Don't Love You is a bad album I just think the other one is slightly better. I am hearing comparisons to Alanis Morrisette in places which depending on your perspective is either a good or a bad thing. Or maybe like me you are somewhere in the middle.
I think there's a problem with the first track, unless it really is a 12 second song.
