Following three classic albums on John Peel’s Dandelion imprint in the early 1970s, Bridget St. John found herself seeking new outlets and a new path as that label ceased operations in 1972. The album ‘Jumblequeen’ followed on Chrysalis, and after a number of other possible new options came and went, Bridget found herself drawn towards New York City, and in 1976 relocated there and began to move within the city’s underground folk music and singer-songwriter circuit.

What followed was a wealth of new material that fed her trademark sound into the melting pot of New York’s musical landscape, pulling in different influences and sounds, different musicians and different approaches to songs which were explored on a number of recording sessions. The recent rediscovery of Bridget’s tape archive has unearthed numerous recordings captured during that very fertile period in her career, and the artist herself has hand-picked 17 previously unheard highlights, presented here alongside her own contextual sleevenotes.

Also including ‘Jumblequeen’ and 1995’s ‘Take The 5ifth’ (which comprises material from that same New York era), ‘From There / To Here’ at last provides a definite overview of the decade that followed Bridget St. John’s association with John Peel and Dandelion, and is a perfect companion to our previous box set covering those years.
