Having thoroughly enjoyed her more traditional previous album Rough Music, and following the recent Channel 5 documentary on Eliza, I had expected something in a similar vein. However, this is very different. It follows in the trail of her previous self-written album (the underrated Angels & Cigarettes) and infuses her folk leanings with an unexpected variety of instruments and styles. What comes through on every song is the strength of the song writing, the vividly drawn characters and the wonderful narratives. All delivered in Eliza's beautiful and expressive singing style. It's an album that rewards repeated listens and leaves you feeling uplifted on every occasion. Incidentally, if you ever get the chance to see Eliza live, don't miss out as it's a wonderful evening in the company of a very talented and engaging person.

What should I put for the "????" bit. Not sure is matters, but it isn't pure folk music,(whatever that is). I won't dissect tracks here as there is so much variety. Instead I will state why it ticks boxes for me. Great music should have quality whatever the genre, sometimes with invention, but certainly it should either move me or excite me. Liza's latest does all these things. She really is ploughing her own furrow these days, and with great success.
Will punters like it ? As it doesn't sound like anyone else it's hard to tell. However, for past Liza fans I would say if you were happy with Red Rice, or the much maligned Angels and Cigarettes,(which I actually thought was a superb diversion), then I reckon this will work for you.
In summary - one of the great albums of recent times irrespective of genre, deserving of 6 stars for imagination,(and unlike some other reinventers not losing the plot). She is a national treasure,(bet she would hate that description), who continues to surprise and delight in equal measure.

Brilliant, witty, rude, anarchic, multi-styled, multi-layered !
Eliza Carthy produces a career-highlight album
Styles and boundaries are blown aside in a magical display of contemporary (Hard to categorise as 'Folk') music
Musicianship throughout is superb from all participants and lyrics are at once thought-provoking and amusing
'Oranges and Sea-salt' is a classic
This album puts Eliza right up there with Richard Thompson as one of our national treasures !

The last time I listened to this rowdy disc was while skim-reading an online article about Dickens, and it suddenly occurred to me that a good way to describe Eliza Carthy`s... Read more

Not traditional folk, but brilliant non the less...
This album is a long long way from the 'Heat, Light and Sound" traditional folk music from Eliza Carthy's early days. Read more

Somewhat different
This is the perfect album for those of us who love the voice and music of Liza Carthy but who occasionally cannot hear an album through to the end. Read more

Eliza does it again....
A great album. Bought as a prize, I gave it a spin before handing it over, and was very impressed!

Not good. Not good at all.
I saw Eliza Carthy in Leeds when she was touring promoting this CD - what a great gig that was. Really brilliant - the musicians were tight, the intros were humourous and the... Read more

Something a bit different
Now, this is a difficult album to recommend. Ultimately all reviews are redundant as it comes down to personal taste at the end of the day. Read more

Magical and touching music
This is modern British folk with a specifically English twist - not eccentric but gloriously idiosyncratic. It is personal without being maudlin, melodious but never mawkish. Read more
