Edinburgh-based folk-rock troubadour Boulder Fields presents 'Horse In a Sling', a wise tale about life's troubles and resistance to surrender. Lifted from his debut album ‘With All The Other Ghosts’, newly released via Scottish indie imprint Let There Be Numbers, this is a testament to the notion that life's greatest affirmations can emanate from the most humble songsmiths.
Boulder Fields revolves around Scottish singer-songwriter Cam Fraser, formerly of Borrowed Books and 80s punk legends The Cateran, who came to reach a wider audience by touring with Nirvana on the 1989 UK tour that led to the American grunge legends' big break. Between his two bands, Cam Fraser has toured or performed with The Proclaimers, Tad and Grant Hart (Husker Du),
Decades spent weaving folk, Americana and indie rock into the fabric of his music have cemented him as a voice of the people. This engaging, stirring tapestry found on this album is largely acoustics, these 11 thoughtful tracks featuring endearing minimalistic arrangements. Yet the fierce intensity of his performance recalls Fraser's punk history.
