Review:
Another cracker from two greats
Anchor is terrific – but then, what else did we expect? Norma and Eliza represent two generations of
the very finest in English folk music and they have produced another cracker
here.
The music is varied, with a good number of traditional songs
and some less obvious but extremely successful versions of fine songs by Tom
Waits, Nick Lowe and others. As you'd expect from these two, they are
respectful to the originals but often very adventurous in their arrangements
and treatments. The musicianship and
singing is, of course, first rate and it's a very fine album all round.
Anyone with an interest in folk music at the moment will
know that anything by these two is going to be special (especially after the
brilliance of Gift) and won’t need me to recommend an album by these two giants
– but I do. It's terrific stuff.
