SINGER-SONGWRITER Michael Weston King has a long history of performance in the field of folk, country and Americana and his songs have also been covered by others including legendary US artists such as Carolyn Hester and Townes Van Zandt.
Released on the famous Cherry Red record label The Struggle was recorded in Spring 2021 in a studio in mid-Wales and consists of 10 original songs which could be said to reflect different aspects of the efforts we have to go through as we proceed through life.
For the past 10 years Weston King has been performing with his wife Lou Dalgleish as part of the country duo My Darling Clementine but decided that the songs for this album were more suited to a solo album although Lou Dalgleish does accompany him on one of the tracks.
Your last solo album I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier was quite a political album with some new songs alongside covers of older protest songs from artists like Phil Ochs and Bobby Darin. Would you say the new album was in that tradition?
