A Different Thread
Приєднався 6 гру 2016
A Different Thread is a transatlantic band fronted by Alicia Best from Durham, North Carolina, and Robert Jackson from the Midlands of England. The two met busking in Ireland in 2016 and have been on the road ever since, touring and creating original music together.
Pulling from their respective roots, they weave together elements of 70s’ Folk Revival, Country, and Appalachian Blues into a timeless blend of Americana.\u2028\u2028 Their intimate blend of raw vocals and atmospheric instrumentation is reminiscent of The Band, Bert Jansch, and Joni Mitchell, with a nod to more contemporary artists such as The Wood Brothers, Rhiannon Giddens and Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings.
The band released their second album, Call of the Road, in September 2022. Written over lockdown, these eleven songs deal with the themes of love, loss, wanderlust, and life on the open road.

A Different Thread - Behind the Curtain (official music video)
Переглядів 3022 місяці тому
Behind the curtain is a song about an ultimatum. A light bulb moment in the eye of a storm, where the penny drops, and it’s time to walk out the door. We shot this video in Fidel Castro’s 1950s apartment in Mexico City. We leaned into the retro vibe and it seemed to suit the song. “Sometimes you look back at a time or a place and it’s like an old film playing out. This song does that for me eve...

Thanks so much ❤
Nice!
Hi guys, glad to see you're doing well and the music keeps getting better. We still all talk about the night you came to.my house and performed in the garden at my mums birthday😊
Did not anticipate enjoying this, but did!
Me gustó bastante
I'm the 100th view 😅
Great music!
"my heart skips like a stone" 😭
Really looking forward to your return to Hay on Wye.
Always favored an Irish hillbilly.
Beautiful.

I first heard this at Newbold Chapel, near Rugby, soon after it was released. This was I believe the debut of the acoustic version. Alicia plalyed the fiddle with the cello being played by someone the name of which escapes me for the moment, but I will recall it later no doubt.
Isaac Collier! of course.
I like it a lot!
She has one of the most haunting voices around today and he is happy to complement her with subtle harmony
☝️🤩☝️
I'll never forget the first time I heard Robert play on that night in Bristol... <3
Can someone please sign these guys already! God bless X
Merry Christmas from the Welsh boarders.
Nice version - very Dylan'esque. I enjoyed it - might steal few ideas from you - everybody else sings it the same old way.
😊
They get better and better
best version ever!
Lovely ❤
I'll never forget when you played at my house for my mums birthday.....you're fantastic and I wish you all the luck in the world with your tour 😊
Are you guys coming back to Farmer Phils in August?
We'll keep applying, maybe next year! Come on out to Stonehenge Summer Solstice Fest!
@The Answer Song Anthology By Alicia Best that's a little short notice for this summer but I'll have a look at it for next year
