Review:
An excellent album
This is an excellent album. It is a lovely mixture of traditional songs and Kate Rusby's own compositions and all are fine pieces, beautifully performed.
Kate Rusby has a fine, distinctive voice which she uses brilliantly to give every song a distinctive and often fresh feel. The arrangements are excellent, with a fine variety of instruments and the whole thing is beautifully produced so that the overall sound is extremely attractive but never bland or samey. It's exemplary stuff, I think.
As an old folkie who spent a lot of time in traditional music clubs and dancing the Morris during the revival of the late 60s and early 70s, it does my heart good to see that English folk music is in the excellent hands of a lot of terrific, committed and imaginative musicians at the moment. Kate Rusby is certainly one of them, and this is a fine example of her work. Very warmly recommended.
