Sam's Brand New Album Is Here! Sam's sixth album Of The Moment is now available on Sam's own Pod label. It was seven short blink-and-you'll-miss-'em years since ReBoot and Sam has yet again found something new and exciting with which to surprise and delight us! We're especially proud that the title was inspired by you! A wonderfully relaxed and intimate feel, a certain mellowness with more strident emotions waxing and waning smoothly through the album. Captivating singing with scrumptious layered backing vocals and imaginative instrumentation, Sam sounds glorious, passionate and tender. It is available from Sam's own new Shop and in record shops. You can also pick up a copy of Sam's recently re-issued fourth album Box and you can listen to some of the new tracks exclusively on Sam's new MySpace page. 
Homespun's Third Album Homespun's new album Short Stories From East Yorkshire was released in the UK on 11th February 2008, their third tender collection of poignant, acoustic songs by Dave Rotheray (from The Beautiful South) delicately sung by Sam with charm and restrained passion. There are also excellent guest vocals from Mary Coughlan and Eleanor McEvoy.
You may wish to pay a visit to
Homespun's
MySpace page where you can sample a few tracks from the
album. This is Homespun's last album, they have disbanded.
Ukulele And Voice E.P. The Ukulele And Voice E.P. is a refined and intimate personal journey with Sam, stripped down to the powerful simplicity of her remarkable voice and expressive ukulele. Five intense songs, plaintive and melancholy, vulnerable and exposed, joyful and exuberant. All written by Sam; "Kiss Of Love" co-written with Jools Holland and contrasting remarkably with the grandly orchestrated Nick Cave duet; "Void" co-written with Dave Rotheray from Homespun and The Beautiful South. Plus "Over The Moon" inspired by your magnificent response to Sam's plea for a sixth album title!
Released on Sam's own label Pod Music on 17th October 2005,
Ukulele And Voice can be bought direct from
Sam's own
Shop or at Sam's gigs.
Sam's Operation
Last year Sam encountered increasing vocal difficulties
which led to the discovery of a cyst on one of her vocal
chords. She had an operation in October, wasn't allowed to
speak for a week and has since been recovering whilst being
a full time mum. She is really touched by your kind
messages of support. 
The Very Best Of Sam Brown Available in all good British record shops is The Very Best Of Sam Brown, eighteen songs selected by Sam spanning her career and demonstrating her remarkable ability, versatility and variety. It was released on 20th March 2006 on Warner's Radar label in the UK only.
Nice outfit! Wouldn't recommend wearing the shoes down
the shops. Click the picture for a better look.
43 Minutes Re-Released And In The Shops Sam's much-loved, much-requested and long-unavailable re-released third album 43 Minutes has been available in Britain's major record shops since 25th October 2004 and can also be bought direct from Sam's own Shop or at Sam's gigs.
43 Minutes was originally released fourteen years ago:
It's Sam's most personal, introspective and heartfelt
album, including many fine and touching songs, such as
the rather special One Candle itself.

Concert For George
The George Harrison tribute concert film Concert for
George featuring Sam was released on DVD in November 2003
with all proceeds going to George's Material World Charitable
Foundation. It's a fabulous film and Sam sings a magnificent,
bouncy Horse To Water and later joins the backing
singers for My Sweet Lord. More details can be found
on the Concert For
George website.
Concert for George was filmed in 2002 at the Royal Albert Hall's George Harrison tribute concert. Directed by David Leland, the concert features Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Dahni Harrison, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Joe Brown, several Monty Pythons, Jools Holland and of course Sam Brown amongst others. There's also a CD of the concert but unfortunately Sam's wonderful contribution isn't included. Sam has contributed to the impressive, wallet-lightening, luxury, limited-edition commemorative book from acclaimed publishers Genesis. Ten lucky Sam fans won pairs of tickets for the UK cinema premiere in London on 8th October 2003 in our special prize draw giveaway! It was a great night out with most of the stars of the film attending! 
Last Album: ReBoot Sam's fifth album "ReBoot" is available on Mudhut. It was released in the UK on the 25th September 2000 and it's a wonderful album: Distinctly Sam, diverse and very original, with plenty of nice surprises, contemporary production, faultless musicianship and of course Sam's remarkable voice as expressive as ever. We think that it ranks alongside Sam's best ever work. You can hear a few clips of every track on Mudhut's merchandise website www.mudmerchandise.co.uk where you can also buy it. You can find Sam giving us a guided tour through ReBoot in her own words in the second half of the Biography section. Why One Candle? One Candle is a beautiful and touching song, can be found on Sam's third album "43 Minutes" and is a firm favourite of many a Sam fan. What's that strange bird-like thing at the very top right?
You're just not looking hard enough. Try again. |

Sam singing "One From The Meadow" and co-writing
"The Sun Will Shine Again" which is sung by Frida
from Abba. Yes, really! You know, the one with
the dark hair. Although rather confusingly she's
now blonde...
