whatever time of year i hear this album,i get a yearning for late july/early august and cambridge/womad festival.this is a great album,which for some unknown reason,is never quoted as one eliza carthys better albums.
great fiddle/accordian playing from the first song trip to fowey,with standout tracks bonapartes retreat and good morning mr walker will have your toes tapping.
so if you like the albums red/rice,try this album,as its probably eliza,s most upbeat album.

This is a lovely album in all respects; first class playing, splendid singing, great songs, and the pervasive sense of fun being had by all concerned that is a part of what makes Eliza Carthy so pleasing to listen to. Plenty of light-hearted and sporadically rude songs, 'Liza's distinctive, strong voice and open, honest and strident fiddle style, and a great selection of instrumentation throughout from the Kings of Calicutt make for a fun listen. I found it worked wonders for painting the house!

well, I like it
21 Feb 2001
Format:Audio CD
I'd have to say that Eliza Carthy and the Kings of Calicutt is good housecleaning music. Listening to this I can usually work up some enthusiasm for mopping. In other words, it's mostly uptempo, with a few good choruses to sing along to rather than attempts at vocal virtuosity. Eliza Carthy has a nice but not BIG voice and even on this where it's largely her singing, sometimes with backing singers, you can hear that she knows harmony singing. That gives it a sort of friendly, informal feel. So it's not a life-changing record, but it's a really good one nonetheless.
