Not counting the 1976 "Silly Sisters"
collaboration with Maddy Prior (see earlier post) this was her debute, released a
little later same year
and not a minute too soon. Since then she has remained one of the
foremost interpreter of classic British folk music with her very
personal voice, so dark and strong and safe to carry any song with
or without backing. Like here where many of the numbers come a
capella and the rest with sparse instrumentation. I don't have
time and place to describe the separate songs with all the love I want,
so I'm just saying - if you're into female vocal, folk music or just
wanna enjoy a marvellous voice, don't miss this one. She'll bring you
in and hold you captured all the way...and that's where I am right now.
For details on the songs and participants check pic below. This
post became a lot shorter than planned, but think I made my point
already so 'nuff said for now. Please also check my posts on some other of her albums To my knowledge only issued in UK and US
(1977 vinyl on Antilles AN 7043 and 1985 on Shanachie 79055). UK 2019
CD on Topic (TTSCD 004) came with four bonus tracks. Premiere UK had
label as shown here in a matt cover. (QÖP*) (BRYF*) (FÄV*) (JÖB*)
