5.0 out of 5 stars warm, gorgeous and hypnotizing, 13 Feb 2009
By E. mann (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really great album for people who love their music honest and inspiring. In previous projects' her sweet, warm voice always stood out to me- so i was excited to see what direction Nancy would take for her solo album. The combination of traditional folk songs and her own compositions is wonderfully knitted together, and feels comforting but not sickly sweet. There's a rawness in her voice and a starkness to these songs that's totally enchanting; this album is perfect for keeping out the wintry chill, or maybe making you smile whilst listening to it at the bus stop, which is generally what happens to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars The old ones are the best ones..., 28 Jan 2009
Following stand-out performances on The Memory Band, Apron Strings and A Garland of Song Nancy Wallace finally breaks ranks for a truly wonderful solo debut. The greatest strength of this quietly beautiful album is the sense of soul. An intensely personal, intimate and yearning feeling pervades the whole album and wraps you like a warm blanket after a winter's walk. Without an extensive knowledge of folksong you would be hard pushed to distinguish between the traditional and modern compositions so seamlessly do they sit side by side.

Vocally the touchstones will be the beautiful cut glass clarity of Shirley Collins and Anne Briggs, the instrumentation delicately plucked guitars, banjos and fiddles, mournful, wheezing accordions - the perfect accompaniment to not detract from that astonishing voice. While many of today's female folk singers are insufferably twee Nancy Wallace possesses an integrity and strength of delivery that makes these tales of love, loss and dreaming totally disarming and immediately addictive.

I will be astonished if there is another LP this year quite as simply affecting as 'Old Stories'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best record I've heard for ages, 5 Oct 2009
By Howard Change (Fishbourne) - See all my reviews
I'd never heard of Nancy. I just loved the simplicity of the cover art and the uncool title.

When I heard it. Wow. I was absolutely hooked. Her songwriting, musicianship, voice. Amazing. The way she handles the traditional music (3 tracks are trad. the rest written by Nancy) is both respectful and adventurous.

Amazing. Simply amazing. I'm so glad I discovered this record.
