Purpose + Grace is the new album from guitar virtuoso Martin Simpson. The album takes it's very apposite title from the great American songwriter Yip Harburg (composer of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow) and marks a bold and confident step for the UK troubadour. Building upon the strengths of his previous album 'Prodigal Son' and 'True Stories', he took months to conceive the project and then invited some of his favourite musicians into the recording studio. These guests include Jon Boden, BJ Cole, Dick Gaughan, Fay Hield, June Tabor and Richard Thompson!
