River Crombie’s humble collection of acoustic ballads would find a natural home in the folk scene of the ’60s and ’70s. There’s a sense of timelessness in River’s music, which effortlessly ties together reflective lyrics, masterful finger picking and a gentle yet rustic voice. His most recent release, ‘Time Beyond Me’ (2011), evokes sentiments of distance, longing, and the beautiful simplicity of a quiet life, and has quickly attracted a dedicated following both in Germany, and from all over the world.
