I can't believe it's 13 years since Caitlin Rose's debut album, Both Sides Now, completely won me over. For a while she was a regular feature of this blog, as I pretty much went to every London show, whether she was supporting another artist or headlining on her own, I was just in love with her music and utterly charmed by her as a person: I even got to sit down and interview her and fangirl over our mutual love of Linda Ronstadt. But then, after one more brilliant album (The Stand-In) she seemed to disappear and I wondered if she had given up music completely.

Isn't it funny, in my head Alison Sudol is a huge artist. For years I had wanted to see her live when she performed as A Fine Frenzy and then she turned to acting and scored a plum role in the Fantastic Beasts movies, so she became more famous as an actress. But for me it was always about the music and when she finally started recording again under her own name I was thrilled.
