Review:
An excellent introduction
This is an excellent introduction to the work of one of the
truly great folk singers of the last 40 years.
Seasoned June Tabor fans like me won't need it because we've already got
most or all of her work, but if you're looking for a place to start, this will
do you very well.
There's a good, representative selection from June's
extensive catalogue here, from early, unaccompanied classics like the
brilliant, haunting And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, to a great version of
The Dark End Of The Street from Ragged
Kingdom, her 2011 reunion with the
Oysterband. In between are some absolute
gems, like her heart-stoppingly lovely version of Shallow Brown and the
beautiful Unicorns.
There's a wealth of great stuff here. If you want a way into June Tabor's work or
just a selection which represents some of her finest work and great
collaborations, don’t hesitate. This is
an outstanding collection.
