Luka Bloom to release new album
Folk singer Luka Bloom is to release his 15th album Tribe.
The musician's latest album is to hit the shelves on September 10th, 2007, with a launch party in London's The Pigalle Club on the 3rd.
The album is the result of a collaboration with fellow musician Simon O'Reilly. Bloom - younger brother of Christy Moore - may be known for his distinctive guitar-playing, but his style is virtually absent on his latest album. He remarks that 'for once in my working life I got to simply be a singer'.
Over the course of his 29-year career, Bloom's albums and performances have been heaped with critical acclaim. Many of his songs - such as 'City of Chicago' - have also become folk standards worldwide.
