about

'By The Ley is Alex Roberts follow-up to the Giant Killer Session . It is an album of great charm and charisma. The guitar playing on this album is understated at times, but then at others it is of an advanced fingerstyle technique that sits subtly beneath Alex s lyrical weaving. The instrumentation has been expanded on this latest album, with more of Roberts musicianship coming to light with lap-steel and a variety of percussive toys to boot. As with his debut, there are a variety of influences and genres crossed and cultivated on this recording, but one feels there is more coherence to this latest offering. There is an unmistakable thread to this album, and that thread is the voice of a songwriter with clear purpose and intention. From the delicate harmonics of Beachy Head Chimes , or the thwarted and gravelly protest of Down To The Square , to the poetic travelogue of its title track, By The Ley is a work that will age well and keep you in good company'.
