Review:
Another fine album from Lady Maisery
I think Lady Maisery are a
genuine class act. They are vocally
brilliant, with wonderful harmonic skill and invention, and the kind of
virtuosic precision which allows the whole thing to seem simple and
natural. Instrumental work is subtle but
superbly done. Their material is varied
but invariably excellent and they pack a real social punch when needed – for
example their cover of Todd Rundgren's Honest Work here is quite stunning, as
was Palaces Of Gold on their last (also excellent) album, Mayday.
British folk music is in excellent hands at the moment, and
Lady Maisery are a prime example of how it is flourishing, being nurtured and
being taken forward. This is an
excellent, hugely enjoyable album. My
advice is to snap this up; it's a gem.
