New releases from The Last Inklings, Various Artists: Deep in the Woods - Pastoral Psychedelia & Funky Folk 1968-1975 and Twink

The Last Inklings
The Impossible Wild
(Gillywisky Records)
★★★

THIS beguiling collection was the brainchild of Leonardo Mackenzie and David Hoyland, a couple of multitalented musicians whose work is steeped in the spirit of contemporary folk while also offering some fresh new insights into the human condition in these troubled times into the bargain.

Classically trained cellist Leonardo Mackenzie has paid his dues as an in demand session for a decade and a half and both men were formerly members of Kadia, whose debut album, East of Alexandria was showered with critical plaudits when it first saw the light of day in 2015.
