About

In 27 years as a solo artist, Somerset-based singer-songwriter Reg Meuross has tackled a wide array of historical based subjects in songs exposing injustice and inequality or celebrating heroism and courage. But in Stolen From God he has unquestionably written his masterpiece in a song cycle that turns an unflinching eye on the toxic legacy of the transatlantic slave trade, most particularly in his own home in the SW of England. Embarking on four years of in-depth research into family trees, church records, oral histories passed down through generations, uncovering many uncomfortable long hidden truths, in the true tradition of folk music he has turned these intosongs about seafaring, war, class, politics and social history with subjects that range from how naval legends like Sir Francis Drake and John Hawkins who helped to establish the transatlantic slave trade, how it underpinned the British economy of the 17th century, the first petition to abolish slavery that originated in Bridgewater and Edward Colston, the Bristol merchant, entrepreneur and philanthropist finally revealed as being involved in the forcible kidnapping and transportation of some 80,000 Africans. With songs sung in the voices of both those outraged by slavery and those enslaved and incorporating traditional African instruments into the arrangements, this is one of the most important albums of the 21st century in shedding light on how, for centuries, we shut our eyes to the fact that the foundations of who we are as a nation were built on the broken backs and chains of others.
