专辑简介

Jim Faupel is a hugely talented songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. He is widely respected and admired in the European druidic and bardic community, and his debut solo album Here Be Dragons is now a pagan standard. But Jim can also rock out with the best of them! In addition to his solo work, he is also the front-man for Rig Records classic rock artist Sanctuary Rig as well as portraying Rick Parfitt in Staid As Quo, the UK's foremost Status Quo tribute band.

Re-inventing the Wheel is an intimate, back-to-basics record in the rural blues/folk tradition, with all the husk and bark left on. No fake finesse here, just stumbling grace and ragged beauty. It's a true solo effort. Jim has written all the songs and performs all of the vocals and backing vocals as well as playing all of the instruments, with the exception of the piano on the last track which is played by his Sanctuary Rig bandmate Mark Rae.
