Cimarron feature on "Anywhere On The Road"
We are proud to announce that Cimarron will be featured in the final compilation from Charlie Gillett who sadly passed away earlier this year. Neil Spencer writes in the Observer: "Broadcaster, writer and world music ambassador, the late Charlie Gillett made his annual compilation into an institution. This last roundup offers Gillett's instinctive, global blend of grand groove and insinuating melody. The haunting title track by Canadian songstress L supplies a coda for Gillett's unfaltering enthusiasms: "There is nowhere to stop anywhere on this road.""
