Kidder's Son by Leslie Rich and the Rocket Soul Choir
After 15 years of silence, the Rocket Soul Choir is back with a crisper, tighter set of tracks. This time the Rocket Soul Choir utilizes the arrangement skills of new drummer, Pete Boulger, and finally succumbs to stalwart bassist Jason Wahl's wishes to plug in an electric and turn it up. The result still ploughs the field of folk honesty, but also delivers a much needed injection of energy into Leslie's slightly off-kilter way of approaching love, hope, rejection and salvation. The music itself won't be rewriting the book of singer-songwriters gone electric, but the believability contained within is something all but a few in this genre consistently provide.

Belfast born singer-songwriter, Leslie Rich grew up listening to a mix of punk, acoustic songwriters and traditional Celtic music. Inspired by artists like Luka Bloom and Throwing Muses, Leslie became a hard working solo performer in the bar scene. He founded the Rocket Soul Choir in 1994, mainly as an acoustic response to the heavy, guitar-driven, Irish bands cropping up at that time
