Product Description
CD Description
Always one of best parts of the annual BBC Folk Awards is the Horizon category. Its had an impressive strike rate: previous winners Julie Fowlis, Karine Polwart, Jim Moray, Spiers & Boden and Cara Dillon were joined this year by undoubted future star Kris Drever. As you’d expect with this sort of lineup, other artists who made the nominees but failed to take the prize are also quite good: This year’s multi winner Seth Lakeman for one. So welcome to Folk Rising. A compilation that goes beyond the four nominees for the Horizon award and showcases the best talent who meet the criteria of being a) under 30 and b) basically of the folk tradition. It also draws from all corners of these Isles, covering England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Compiled by the same people that bring you the Folk Awards compilation CD each year. Tracks: The Devil's Interval - Studying Economy / Tim van Eyken - Gypsy Maid / Shona Kipling & Damien O’Kane - Fishing With Calum; Broken Poached Eggs; Willy Coleman's / Megson - Follow It On / Mawkin - Banks Of Dee; The Brown Velvet Waltz / Gwenan Gibbard - Dod Dy Law / Jackie Oates - Lavender’s Blue / Rachel Hair - Marie’s Tune / Ella Emondson - Breathe / Teada - Polcai: Ta Dha Ghabhairin Bhui Agam; The Shelf / Lauren MacColl - Graham’s Delight / Jenna - Hangin’ Around / Kerfuffle - Bold / John Smith - Axe Mountain.

Although this was only released in 2007, so much has happened to a number of the artists that are featured, good & bad. The CD kicks off with the now defunct `The Devil's Interval' with Jim Causley leading us through a traditional song. Tim Van Eyken is up next, another singer with strong ties to the Waterson family. Tim also contributes a traditional track. The traditional numbers outweigh the original songs by 8 to 6 but all of the arrangements are new and dynamic as one would expect from a CD that focuses on the great new talent that is emerging into the scene.
Of the original compositions, there are a number of very strong contenders for the outstanding track of the CD. For me, this goes to Ella Edmondson with `Breathe' a gorgeous number about breaking up with a clingy boyfriend. Hot on Ella's tail are the mighty Megson with `Follow it on', the centre piece of the cracking album of the same name. Of the traditional numbers, the Mawkin effort is my personal favourite and indeed they are another band going places in a hurry.
This is a wonderful smorgasbord of styles and musicianship, with only 1 duff track and serves as an excellent introduction to a number of artists that most will be unfamiliar with. Splash your cash, you won't regret it.
