Dreams - out now!
Dreams, the album we made with Bonnie Dobson is out now! You can listen to it on your favourite streaming service and order a LP or CD here: https://fanlink.tv/albumdreams
The album was a pure joy to make. Thanks for asking us to play on your songs, Bonnie! Co-produced by Sean Read and our very own Richard Olson, the album also features guest appearances by Ben Philipson, Itamar Rubinger and Herman Ringer.
The beautiful cover was designed by our longstanding collaborator El Señor Gómez.
“With The Hanging Stars capturing the gentle, folk-rock spirit of The Byrds and The Band, this sounds like the album Dobson should have made in the late Sixties. Instead, she had to wait another half century, but better late than never: it’s delightful.” - ★★★★ The Times

Get Together
Our new single, and second from our forthcoming album “Dreams”, is out now.
Our take on the counterculture anthem “Get Together”. Written by American singer-songwriter Dino Valenti more than 60 years ago, the songs powerful message is as relevant as ever. Our version features Bonnie Dobson on lead vocals and is enhanced by the mercurial guitar playing of Ben Philipson (Trimdon Grange Explosion, Comet Gain, The Eighteenth Day Of May).
“So come on, people now
Let’s get together
Smile on your brother
Love one another right now”
