None More Records and Arrowhawk Records are proud to present a live album of transatlantic psychedelic country and ambient americana from the Cosmic Country Revue, recorded in March 2023 at the Paper Dress in London. The Cosmic Country Revue was a fabled UK tour featuring Jeffrey Silverstein (Portland, USA), Bobby Lee (Sheffield, South Yorkshire) and Joe Harvey-Whyte (London, UK), three leading lights of the Cosmic Country scene combining for a stunning night of live psychedelic music, preserved and presented in full here.
Jeffrey Silverstein is a songwriter living in Portland, Oregon. His most recent album 'Western Sky Music' released on Arrowhawk Records in 2023 was a triumph, heavily supported by the likes of NPR and New Commute. Choice cuts from the record are featured here, such as the ripping extended version of 'Sunny Jean' where you can hear the guys really cut loose, alongside earlier tunes, such as the loose, cosmic groove of 'Trip Sitter'.
Bobby Lee is a musician from Yorkshire who trades in his own inimitable brand of wide screen instrumental ambient country psychedelia. His last two records 'Origin Myths' (2021) and 'Endless Skyways' (2023) have received critical acclaim and support from spots like MOJO Magazine in the UK and Aquarium Drunkard. Bobby's set features tracks from both records, culminating in an jammed out version of 'Impregnated By Drops Of Rainbow' featuring some incredibly cosmic pedal steel from Joe Harvey-Whyte.
The album consists of the complete evening's music, and therefore naturally opens with the Cosmic Country Revue's opening set, a magical, atmospheric ambient pedal steel set from the maestro Joe Harvey-Whyte. 'Live Improvisation' is a stunning piece consisting of Joe's trademark pedal steel mixed in with voice and field recordings and gentle pulses swaying in and out. Joe's first solo release 'Flatland / Spaceland' was released by None More Records in 2021.
The album closes with a lively run through the good ol' Grateful Dead traditional 'Rider' with everyone on stage together jamming and cutting loose, sharing verses and solos, a suitably cosmic closer.
