RM Hubbert - Breaks & Bone

Review by Sean Thomas

Never a self-indulgent or forlorn listen, jumping from one emotion to the next, all the while held together by some truly excellent musicianship and wry Scottish lyrics.»

'Breaks and Bone' heralds a return to solo performing for RM Hubbert, having retired the collaborative approach he employed so effectively on 'Thirteen Lost and Found'. While Hubbert's guitar work retains the flamenco structures and techniques of his earlier material, it's augmented on 'Breaks and Bone' with vocals - the first time Hubby has sang on record since his El Hombre Trajeado days. Production on the album is purposefully spartan, picking up the conspicuous creaks and squeaks of his instrument - a custom- built guitar made by Luthier Anders Eliasson in South West Spain.
