Acclaimed British band the Levellers release their brand-new acoustic album Together All The Way this Friday, under the name Levellers Collective. The sequel to their 2018 Top 20 acoustic album We The Collective, the album will be available on limited edition Red Vinyl and CD and can be pre-ordered here.

Opening with a beautifully re-worked version of their classic hit ‘The Game’, Together All The Way finds the band stripping everything right back and taking a traditional folk approach as they reimagine various songs from their past.

In addition to new versions of tracks from the Levellers’ back catalogue, including the iconic ‘Battle Of The Beanfield’, the ten-track album features brand new songs ‘Man O War’ and ‘Sitting In The Social’, alongside the recent single ‘Down by the River ‘O’ which was written by friend and collaborator Rev Hammer about the Great Flood of 1968 in Buntingford.

The last ‘Collective’ album was recorded at Abbey Road with the legendary John Leckie five years ago and resulted in their highest chart position in twenty years. For this new collection the band reconvened the Collective – this time with Sean Lakeman producing and Al Scott mixing – at their own Metway Studios in Brighton. The band were joined again by Hannah and Ollie from the Moulettes on cello, vocals and percussion plus the mighty Dan Donnelly on his first official Levellers recording.

Of the album and recording, Levellers Collective say, “It was truly a fun record to make, under the rigorous guidance of Sean. Sean’s a musician himself, always bringing ideas and get out of jail free suggestions when we got stuck. It’s a stripped back, raw iteration of the collective with deep folk leanings. As energetic as the first one but definitely different.”
