Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
She may have come to a solo career late in life (by the time her eponymous debut was released she was already a grandmother) but Norma Waterson has taken to the role with gusto. The presence of a folk or traditional album in the Mercury Awards may now be de rigeur, but Norma Waterson not only started the trend, it also came within a hair's breadth of taking the prize. And now after two records tackling the work of the likes of Billy Bragg, the Grateful Dead, Queen and Richard Thompson, Waterson returns to her true muse--the folk song. Although recorded in her name, all the usual Waterson-Carthy associates are in evidence. Daughter Eliza Carthy makes a convincing production debut as well as contributing violin and vocals; husband Martin, brother Mike and accordionists Martin Green and Chris Parkinson also appear. Other guests bring a welcome variation to the album, especially the Poozies' Mary Macmaster on harp and Alice Kinloch and Martin Lewington's brass. The material fits the singer's voice like a glove--no wonder as she has been singing these songs for most of her life. Those in search of thrills and spills should look elsewhere but Waterson and her colleagues carry off their task with an understated elegance and genuine feeling--traits all too rare in today's music. --Phil Udell
