Product Description
CD Description
Re-release of the third studio album by multiple BBC Folk Award winner Jackie Oates, former member of Rachel Unthanks & The Winterset and sister to Jim Moray.
Previously released in 2009 by One Little Indian, now re-released on Unearthed ahead of her fourth album `Saturnine' (ECC Records).
Jackie is at the forefront of the new generation of young English traditional folk artists who have made the presence felt in recent years.
She is a member of the all-star fusion band Imagined Village alongside Eliza Carthy, Chris Wood, Martin Carthy and Simon Emmerson, and recently took part in the Cecil Sharp songwriting house project which was featured on BBC Radio 4's `Today' programme.
Jackie is also featured on the recently released Lush spa albums and Lush are currently stocking a specially developed `Jackie Oates' moisturiser in their 700 stores nationwide.
This is a traditional folk album that should also appeal to the new generation of nu-folk fans. It is achingly beautiful, at times moving, and highlights Jackie's crystal clear vocals.
The album gained three nominations in the BBC Folk Awards 2010 and was number 5 in Mojo magazine's 2009 Folk Albums Of The Year.

Beyond the North Wind,
By
This review is from: Hyperboreans (Audio CD)
I bought this purely on recommendation and reputation, and have not been disappointed.As yet another example of the rich vein of contemporary English semi-traditional singing, this is a beautiful piece of work from start to finish, with some really outstanding tracks. The utterly, bitterly poignant "Past Caring" is music to raise the hairs on your neck and the jolly singalong title track is equally fine, while the riff running through "Butchers Boy" is one of those that pops up hours later and leaves you wondering where that came from. But those are just examples of many high-quality moments throughout the album. The name of Jim Moray is an inevitable add-on, but Jackie Oates's music stands proudly on its own as separate and very lovely. Highly recommended.

All human life.................,
By P MARTIN (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hyperboreans (Audio CD)
This CD has it all - derring-do, redemption, humour, perfidy, murder, gallantry - and lyrics combined with fine traditional musicianship which I believe will bring a tear to the most jaundiced music lover's eyeTraditional folk? I think it's fair to call it that. Certainly not as left-field as the Unthanks (from whence she hailed) or Alasdair Roberts, two of my other favorite contemporary folk outfits, but none the worse for that. Great tunes, beautiful lyrics, magnificent vocals, inspiring harmonies and brilliant melodies from Jackie Oates and her accompanists. What's not to like?

Sweet stuff!,

This review is from: Hyperboreans (Audio CD)
I was really pleased with this purchase - a nice step up from the Violet Hour CD.Jackie has a clear fresh voice; great for folkies who like to hear every word. Nice musicianship that is subtle yet an asset where included. Watch her career take off. Alistair
