Format:Audio CD
I found it really difficult to choose between this album and the earlier Once in a Blue Moon. Both albums made a lot more sense after I found out that Lal Waterson was an artist and sculptor as well as a singer - the songs are put together like beautiful watercolours of winter seasides, all moody and evocative. Mostly a palette of intricate guitar with some languid sax and cello and this amazing no nonsense northern vocal. Then there are unexpected liitle details like Ewan MacColl's "Just a Note." This album was finished after Lal died, which I guess is why there are two instrumental tracks from son Oliver, but these don't feel like makeweights, just rather poignant. I chose this album out of the two because the tunes are just a little easier to get your head round, but I'll have to get the other one soon. So will you.

"Who wants a bed of roses anyway?"
10 July 1999
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lal Waterson first revealed the force of her songwriting with 1972's Bright Phoebus, followed by a few all-too-rare offerings over the years, culminating in two last records with her son, Oliver Knight. Her uncompromising songs and performances are high poetry, raising deep and soulful mysteries.
Bed of Roses sounds much like Once in a Blue Moon from 1996, which is cause for celebration. Oliver Knight's production and guitar accompaniment are spare and thoughtful. Other musicians and voices are used sparingly and carefully, too. For instance, at one point Jody Stecher adds a breathtaking few measures of congruent, crystalline mandolin.
Lal Waterson died of cancer in September, 1998. Even as we mourn this loss, we are so fortunate to have this album!
