The January release on Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound comes from renowned producer, multi-instrumentalist and artist Ethan Johns.
Ethan began his career under the tutelage of his father, producer Glyn Johns, and since the 1990’s he has worked as a producer, engineer, mixer and occasionally touring musician for a number of artists including Ray LaMontagne, Kings of Leon, Joe Cocker, Tom Jones, Emmylou Harris and Laura Marling. In 2012 Johns stepped out from behind the console and released his first solo album.
‘Live at Kings Place‘ captures a homecoming show – the culmination of a month of UK touring in support of Johns’ second solo album ‘The Reckoning’ – and was recorded especially for Society of Sound.
“If you put yourself in a position when you’re in control of what’s going on, then it becomes quite safe. Sometimes you want to go for those definitive versions of songs, but for me at the moment, that’s not what I’m going for. It’s more about trying to catch a snapshot of a certain period of time.”
