“...with Thompson’s pure-toned voice bringing out the wistfulness of the words, while Walbourne’s electric guitar on Fair Warning is wonderfully restrained. This is a triumphant addition to the English folk-rock cannon...” - The Times
“Together they have made a tough yet tender album, in which their perfectly attuned harmonies deliver sharply observed vignettes buoyed by old tunes dug out from the annals of British folk.” - The Telegraph
“Bearing the weight of their combined musical heritage, the two singers have come out of the gate with a modern gem on their finely crafted album.” - All Music
The Rails – English singer-songwriter married duo Kami Thompson and James Walbourne – are releasing their debut album Fair Warning on January 20, 2015.  PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLl68tJy3q8> to watch the video for The Rails’ rendition of Irish folk song “Bonnie Portmore”
Produced by Sebastian Lewsley and former Orange Juice frontman/Scottish music legend Edwyn Collins in North London, The Rails debut is packed with traditional and original songs that gives folk music a contemporary edge.  Kami and James have reached deep into their rich musical histories to concoct the kind of sharp, true folk rock blend rarely heard since the Seventies.
Kami, daughter of Richard and Linda Thompson, has performed with members of the Wainwright family, toured with Sean Lennon and Bonnie Prince Billy and released her own solo album, Love Lies, on Warner Music in 2011.
James is now one of the hottest rock guitarists in Britain. Peter Bruntnell took him to the US to make an album and James went on to play as a member of Son Volt and The Pernice Brothers and record with the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis. Back in the UK, he has played with Ray Davies, become part of the touring lineup for The Pogues and joined The Pretenders as lead guitarist in 2008. In 2011, he made his first solo album, The Hill, for Heavenly records.
“We picked songs that we felt could have been written right now,” explains Kami. “‘Bonnie Portmore’ taps into our sense of endangered nature and fears about the planet. And ‘William Taylor’ is the ultimate bitch revenge fantasy for every guy you’ve had a shit time from. Those old murder ballads are my favorite songs ever, they give you permission to say something you’re not allowed to say in real life: I’d really like to kill you for fucking someone else.”
Check out The Rails on tour next month when they open for The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde across the US. All tour dates below.
