I only really heard Karine's work for the first time when "Scribbled in Chalk" came out. I listened to the previews of the new album on her myspace page and almost fell off my chair. "Firethief" is powerful and moving especially given the subject matter, "The Good Years" uplifting with it's wonderful melody and vocal harmony and "Sorry" is just too good for words. Actually, there's not a bad song on this. Karine's voice is just perfect, the playing is impeccable, the lyrics are profound and the whole thing made me smile and cry at the same time. I haven't stopped playing it since I bought it. I've already told anyone who will listen that they should buy this album and reward real talent. I'm going to see her in Edinburgh next Sunday and can't wait. Am I gushing? Probably. There's much that is naff about Scottish music but this, currently, is about as good as it gets.

I'd heard of Karine Polwart but never heard her perform until I spent £1.99 on the "That's Proper Folk" CD (or whatever it's called).
Possibly the best £1.99 I've ever spent, if only because it introduced me to this album.
Karine Polwart was head and shoulders the winner on that CD (and I'm a fan of Cara Dillon, so work that one out) with the track "Sorry". Which meant that I had to go out and buy this CD.
Worth every penny: there's clearly a trad-folk element running throughout this, whether it's the tunes or the lyrics, but with a definite modern flavour. Her singing is strong, with her accent a joy to hear (that's one of the great things about folk - no faux American accents), and this is a consistently rewarding album.
If you've come here off the back of the "That's Proper Folk" album, buy this - you won't be disappointed. Now I have to get my wallet out and buy the other albums....

Karine didn't have a tricky second album. "Scribbled in Chalk" managed to eclipse the impact of her debut solo album "Faultlines", and "Fairest Floor" followed that with equal aplomb, so surely "This Earthly Spell" will finally be a passing work, a mediocrity, proof that no artist can be that consistent. No. Not a bit. Here are 10 songs that would shame any first album with its treasure trove of long saved songs, that both hold together in their totality and yet offer everything from political vitriol to maternal love. A number of songs have had airings on You-Tube as rough recordings but now shine all the brighter for the airy backing vocals of Inge Thomson or the clever rhythms of messers Foulds & McGuire and the ever creative and tasty, tasty perfect simplicity of brother Steven.
This is real, visceral, potent, charming, intimate and profoundly beautiful song writing delivered by an Artist and band of genuine talent and ability which will push every emotional and cerebral button and leave you oddly comforted in it's very existence.

Beautiful album
No let up in the quality of K.P's writing arranging and singing.Lyrics sometimes surprising and challenging,sometimes whimsical and touching.

This is a glorious album. The fact that it is different from her previous work should be taken to indicate not a retreat but a development. Read more

another great album
on a par with kate rusby, alison krauss , etc - why are there so many more auperb female singers than male singers? the reverse of tennis - is there a connection?

Regardless of its genre, this is music of the highest order
Karine Polwart was recommended to me by a friend; having never heard of her, I took a chance and bought this album just before Christmas - I have not regretted doing so. Read more

Edgy 4th album - take time to listen!
Songs on this album are more edgy than Karine's earlier work and take a bit more listening to but are very much worth it. Personal favourites are Sorry and Rivers Run. Read more
