Andy Lang with The Zealots

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE WELL is a 4-piece acoustic roots band, stripped down from the 17 'Zealots' who recorded the album 'Letters to Judas' in 2004. They are Mhairi O'Neil (electric violin) Mike Cameron (drums, percussion, bass, backing vocals) Doug Anderson (guitars and mandolin) and are fronted by singer/songwriter Andy Lang (acoustic guitar, vocals).

Just released is their new EP 'Gentle (Shadow of The Sun)' available here.

It features 2 new tracks, 'Gentle' and 'The Well' (a murder ballad) as well as 'Letter To Judas', the title track from the 2004 album.

The music's a kind of transatlantic fusion, country and blues tinged, haunted by Mhairi's awesome fiddle and Doug's glittering slide guitar.

Influences? Dylan, Steve Earle, Springsteen, Richmond Fontaine, Neil Young, life, love and death...

LETTERS TO JUDAS is also available from this site now.

BBC Radio Scotland's Iain Anderson has murmured such names as Michael Stipe and 'early Jethro Tull', and then blamed his producer!

Check out Maverick magazine's review at 'News & Reviews'.

'There's blood on all these coins, there's blood here in the cup, there's blood here on the tips of all their wings...'
