Hailing from the Kingdom of Fife King Creosote is the “stage” name of one Kenny Anderson. He is a very prolific songwriter who has released many CDRs on his own label Fence Records.
Part of a loose musical scene based in Fife and known as the Fence Collective (most famous alumni being KT Tunstall) KC’s work is now reach a much wider audience. His latest release (Bombshell) has found him and his band touring the UK and appearing on Jools Holland.
He writes really interesting lyrics set against some fine tunes and sings in his own local accent.
Here are a couple of tracks from the new album performed on Later, You’ve No Clue Do You (has to be the best/only? reference to a board game in a song) and then Home In A Sentence.
Finally one caught at a music store signing Cowardly Custard - his ability to not take himself seriously really shines out on this one.
If you want to know more check out his web site (includes a link to his MySpace pages).
