Milkwhite Sheets interweaves traditional songs from Appalachia and The British Isles alongside songs written by Campbell.
Of the album Campbell says ldquoWhen David Tibet introduced me to the recordings of Shirley and Dolly Collins I was instantly transfixed.
Irsquod never heard anything so beautiful in my life, so raw and honest, it led me onwards to discover Davey Graham and Anne Briggs and the recordings of Jean Ritchie and more.
I couldnrsquot hear enough.
I feel them so deeply and the humanity and breadth of experience they encompass.
My whole life everything has always been about the songs.
And as a writer listening, absorbing and learning about these magical, mysterious treasures taught and inspired so much, I honestly think some of these ancient folk songs are some of the most beautiful to ever grace the earth.
They spoke to me in a way Irsquod never experienced prior and never will again.
I was grateful David Tibet assisted me in deciding the album title over dinner in Glasgow one night.
And stoked to have Alex Neilson drumming.rdquoIsobel Campbell released her most recent solo album, There Is No Other, earlier this year to much critical acclaimldquoThe Scottish singersongwriter makes a spinetingling solo return, applying her diaphanous voice to folk adorned with country, bossa nova and indiepop.rdquonbspThe Guardian ndash 4 stars ldquoThere Is No Otherhellip shows that the softer approach Campbell prefers for her songs doesnrsquot mean a lack of richness or variety.
