Album for Liz Clarke, Vivienne Neville, Jackie Morris Bates and Mary Kathryn
FOLLOWING the release of the Plankton Records digital single "What A
Friend We Have In Jesus" by Britain's Vivienne Neville and Liz Clarke and America's
Jackie Morris Bates and Mary Kathryn, an album is now planned. 'What A
Friend We Have' album will be released on 8th September. Said
Plankton's Keith Dixon, "The album consists of three solo tracks from
each of the four artists and the single that features all of them
together. Mary Kathryn is a great singer and her music infuses Celtic,
pop and world music. . . Jackie Morris Bates has only very recently
starting performing again and her music is a classic blend of jazz and
country with a dash of Southern gospel thrown in. Liz Clarke, the lady of
the crystal clear voice, gave us a great song from one of her earlier
EPs and also a beautiful single she wrote after losing her mother
which sold really well in Northern Ireland, and a song from her latest
Plankton album. Finally, Vivienne gave us two previously unreleased
tracks, one of which is a radical reworking of the opening track from
the 'Emmanuel' album she did with Liz on Plankton."
