This is UK soul/folk/blues singer Helen Watson's (Daphne's Flight) debut album, Blue Slipper, first released by EMI Records in 1987 and reissued by Fledg'ling in 2006 with four rare bonus tracks. The album was produced by Glyn Johns in Los Angeles, and among the musicians playing on the recording were Bernie Leadon (The Eagles), Jerry Donahue (Fairport Convention), Steve Lukather (Toto), Paul Barrere, Bill Payne and Richie Hayward (Little Feat). The sessions were the first time the musicians from Little Feat had recorded together since Lowell George's death in 1979. For this edition, Fledg'ling added two rare tracks from 12" singles and two previously-unreleased demo recordings.

Originally issued by Fledg'ing in 1999. Doffing is a beautiful collection from one of Britain's most distinctive and acclaimed voices. On this release, Helen pays tribute to some of her favorite songs and songwriters. From typically idiosyncratic readings of Junior Parker's "Mystery Train," John Hiatt's "Icy Blue Heart" and Dan Penn's splendid "I'm Your Puppet" through the exuberant hijinx of the Maddox Brothers' "I Want To Live And Love" to the deep soul of Paul Kelly's "Personally." Through a magical series of understated arrangements focused around Helen's remarkable voice, Doffing affirms all that is best in British folk-soul.

Released by Fledg'ling in 2002. A magnificent third solo album from Helen Watson -- one of Britain's finest singer-songwriters. A stunning collection of Helen's magical, understated songs -- beguiling songs of hope, intriguing songs of love lost and new love found, and some exquisite pastoral vignettes -- all focused around her glorious, acclaimed voice. Lifesize makes the final part of a very loose trilogy with Doffing (1999) and Somersault (1997). Guest musicians include Helen's erstwhile Daphne's Flight colleagues Chris While and Julie Matthews.
