JUNE TABOR/ABYSSINIANS 12TS432 (-83) UK

For background check post on her previous album http://monolover.blogspot.se/search?q=june+tabor . This follow up was made three years later with about the same crew. Martin Simpson - guitar, Ric Sanders - violin and Dave Bristow - piano. The arrangements are even sparser here. Five of the tracks performed more or less a-capella and some of the others only have one or two supporting instruments. It's somber and sometimes sad. With most other singers it would have been a depressing experience, but Tabors warm and confident vocals edures all and turns it into something beautiful. The overall impression is something pretty unique in today's importunate world - stillness and repose. First US 1984 on Shanachie (79038). UK CD on Topic 1989 (TSCD 432). Premiere UK issue had label as shown here and glossy cover. (BRYF*)(FÄV*) (QÖP*) (JÖB*)
