Breaks Bone

Description

Breaks & Bone is the follow up to RM Hubberts SAY Award winning album Thirteen Lost & Found.

Thirteen Lost & Found was named Scottish Album Of The Year in June, defeating the likes of Django Django, Admiral Fallow, Paul Buchanan and Lau.

Following First & Last and Thirteen Lost & Found, Breaks & Bone concludes a confessional triptych Hubby refers to as The Ampersand Trilogy.

Breaks & Bone heralds a return to solo performing for RM Hubbert, having retired the collaborative approach he employed so effectively on Thirteen Lost & Found.

While Hubberts guitar work retains the flamenco structures and techniques of his earlier material, its augmented on Breaks & Bone with vocals the first time Hubby has sang on record since his El Hombre Trajeado days.

Production on the album is purposefully spartan, picking up the conspicuous creaks and squeaks of his instrument a custom built guitar made by Luthier Anders Eliasson in South West Spain.

The albums cover star is Hubbys dog, D Bone: named in tribute to one of the guitarists musical heroes, the late D Boon of Californian punk trio Minutemen. His canine friend is also the subject of the albums instrumental opener Son Of Princess, Brother Of Rambo.
