Product Description

Kate Rusby

"I heard a girl recently called Ruth Notman, I thought she was fantastic, really special."

Album Description

Skillfully blending traditional material and unique covers with her own beautifully crafted songs, Ruth Notman is poised to set the folk world ablaze with this stunning and eagerly anticipated debut album. Her pure and powerful voice, quirky piano melody and beautifully picked guitar are joined on the album by evocative cello from Hannah Edmonds, driving rhythm and sensitive backing from Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy, Whapweasel) on melodeon and other guest musicians including Roger Wilson (Wood:Wilson:Carthy) on fiddle, and stunning harmony singing from Bella Hardy.

High quality production of a hugely varied repertoire makes this album something quite different from the norm. Simple stripped down English ballads and epic sweeping arrangements are all tied together by the power and passion of Ruth's vocals, whose youthful approach to the material is often forgotten through the maturity of her delivery.

This ability to perform songs with such emotion and skill has led to recognition within the folk scene, particularly as a finalist in the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards 2007. In a recent interview, Kate Rusby was asked about the state of the current folk scene: "I heard a girl recently called Ruth Notman," she commented, " I thought she was fantastic, really special." Now discover for yourself and be there at the start with this startling new talent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sounds a bit like......., 31 Jan 2008
By C. Horton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great debut album from a real talent. It's very hard to review this album without reference to the striking similarities in Ruth Notmans voice and that of Kate Rusby. A couple of tracks are so like KR that you would struggle to tell the difference.
If you like singers like Kate Rusby, Eddi Reader or Karine Polwart, then this album is a must.
I look forward to hearing more from Ruth although she maybe needs to develop a style of her own. She does sometimes sound a bit too much like the others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The future IS Ruth Notman!, 28 Feb 2008
By Nicholas Forro (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Do yourself a favour. Buy this album. Ruth is a huge talent. She has an exuberant voice that brings this material to life and gives it a fresh and contemporary feel. There is an undeniable pop sensibility to these interpretation and I found myself instantly enjoying myself.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like the new generation of Folk starlets but they do have a tendency to fall into the slightly mawkish or the down right depressing. I like a slow and tragic ballad sung sonorously and slowly to minimal accompaniment as much as the next man but sometimes you want something that'll wake you up, put a smile on your face and remind you the folk is an exuberant uplifting artform. This is something that Ruth seems to get. This is how an ultra talented 18 year old should sound, not world weary but passionate.
