Beans On Toast,”Knee Deep In Nostalgia/The Unforeseeable Future” (Botmusic)- Essex born alternative folkie Jay McAllister has established the admirable tradition of releasing a freshly minted new album every year on his birthday of December 1st, and this year he’s excelled himself by unleashing not one but two CDs on an unsuspecting world. “Knee Deep In Nostalgia” captures this warm hearted character at his most positive and optimistic, with Frank Turner’s production and the presence of several guest musicians giving the package a much more fleshed out and expansive sound than Beans’ recent output. “The Unforeseeable Future” chronicles the maverick balladeer’s griity reactions to the unprecedented events of 2020, recorded solo during lockdown and is well worth half an hour or so of anyone’s time.
