The Rails are James Walbourne and Kami Thomspon. The English singer-songwriter duo produce a distinctive blend of folk rock born of rich individual musical histories.
James, best known as lead guitarist with The Pretenders, has an impressive CV of collaborations including The Pogues, cult singer-songwriter Peter Bruntnell, Americana icons Son Volt and The Pernice Brothers, the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis and The Kinks frontman Ray Davies. In 2011, he made his first solo album, The Hill, for Heavenly Records.
Kami is the youngest daughter of Richard and Linda Thompson, the first couple of Seventies folk rock. She has been a backing singer with Linda, 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.
The Rails debut album Fair Warning produced with indie legend Edwyn Collins and featuring folk frontierswoman Eliza Carthy on fiddle, warranted the revival of Island Records’ vintage Pink Label, also home to John Martyn, Nick Drake and Fairport Convention.
“Kami is a fine, versatile singer with a style that at times echoes that of her mother, while Walbourne is an impressive guitarist…….A duo to watch.” – The Guardian
“Steeped in timeless U.K. folk and rock traditions, London duo the Rails deliver a debut LP full of warmth and grace…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 Fair Warning.” – All Music
