He has been described as the "
JD Salinger
of Pop
" (by Rock And Folk) and Q Magazine welcomed his come-back album
A Trip To The Coast
(TR 280CD/LP, 2014) as "
a welcome return for a long lost treasure
",
Francoise Hardy
provided backing vocals for his '80s Hit "Tommy & Co", his albums were produced by people like
Ian Broudie
and
Etienne Daho
and recently he was invited as a special guest by
Pete Doherty
to open his Liverpool show. In a nutshell, since the early '80s,
Bill Pritchard
has shown that he is at the top of his game. Now comes
Bill Pritchard Sings Poems by Patrick Woodcock
-- a new and exciting venture, a collaboration with the acclaimed Canadian poet
Patrick Woodcock
. Woodcock, who has written nine books of poetry and whose work has been translated into 14 languages. Bill Pritchard has been a fan for three decades and during the long, dark lockdown days he decided to reach out to Pritchard and ask if he would write a song based on one of his poems. The beginning of a great (e-mail-) friendship between the award-winning poet living far above the Arctic Circle and the singer/songwriter from the Midlands from which the present album resulted.
Sings Poems By Patrick Woodcock
is a work of beauty and a testament to their love and respect for each other's craft. All of the songs were created from poems found in the tenth book
Farhang Book I
by Patrick Woodcock (to be released later in 2023). The album has everything you expect from a Bill Pritchard album, it has everything you expect from a great pop album: songs of timeless elegance armed with Woodcock´s amazing poems, multi-layered songs that seem so effortless at the same time. The album contains 11 sparkling guitar pop gems that prove that Pritchard is one of the greats of the genre alongside artists like
Lloyd Cole
or
Roddy Frame
. Bill Pritchard
Sings Poems By Patrick Woodcock
is a joy, an experiment and an artistic triumph, it is as expected a lyrical and musical masterpiece.
