In July, Scotland’s Kathryn Joseph was awarded the 2015 Scottish Album of the Year for her superb debut album, Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled.  It’s taken us another six months since to get our thumbs out of our ears, but we’ve become ardent fans of the talented Ms. Joseph.  Joseph isn’t your average musician or storyline (which you can read more about HERE).  Though she first had a record deal at the age of 23, after a subsequent lifetime of trials and tribulations (including the unimaginable loss of an infant), she finally released her debut album at the age of 40.  Joseph reminds us of the best of Kate Bush, Rickie Lee Jones, and PJ Harvey, with a dollop of Thom Yorke-isms.  In other words:  incredible and moving song-making and singing to match.  Check out a couple of songs from the album below, as performed for the BBC.
