Aldora Britain Records proudly presents Anna Lee (You Are The Diamond Of The Sea), a collection of 25 eclectic musical selections from all around the globe. The compilation's title comes from the opening track, 'Anna Lee' by Jackson Pines. A beautiful and pleasant-minded country folk fingerpicker. What better way is there to kick off proceedings?
Alongside Jackson Pines, we welcome back two other good friends this week. From Greece, we have Robert Sin & The Huckleberries who contribute their troubadouring country rock. We also enjoy a fine selection from Anthony St. James, the acoustic punk singer/songwriter who brings us lyrically-minded indie folk. A fine taster of his debut solo album.
As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.
Have a brilliant weekend!
Tom @ Aldora Britain Records

Good live album. I love the fans that every time DBT releases anything they compare the old version of the band with the new one. They say the old is better the new is too political….blah blah blah. For me the new version from English Oceans to now is my favorite and their “political stuff” is their best songwriting no question. Ive been a fan since SRO. This band has always been very liberal and political. It’s time fans really research the bands they follow beforehand lmao. Yimmy Kil
