“Songs for the Young At Heart” is an enchanting side project bought to you by Dave Boulter and Stuart Staples of the Tindersticks. Inspired by memories from their childhood of music from the radio, school room and television, “Songs for the Young at Heart” features the sunny, simple, dark and sad songs from the halcyon days of school holidays and endless summer afternoons. Hand picking a selection of guest vocalists and story tellers, the album includes the likes of Cery’s Matthews singing a sublime version of “White Horses”, Bonnie Prince Billy’s melancholic version of “Puff the Magic Dragon” and Jarvis Cocker reciting the tale of “Albert & The Lion” which takes you back to the days of Jackanory. Lovingly and beautifully presented, “Songs for the Young at Heart” is for everyone, whether young, old or especially just young at heart…
