Product Description

Description

Despite being a former member of the Albion Band and a regular associate of Ashley Hutchings (including playing on the classic MORRIS ON album of instrumental dance tunes), John Tams remains one of the lesser known figures of the British folk community. THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION is a solid overviewof Tams's solo career, featuring highlights such as "Doing Time To Fit Your Crime" and the lovely "Spanish Bride", and providing Tams with a moment in the spotlight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Purchase, 18 Nov 2008
I was lucky enough to see John Tams perform at 'The Moseley Folk Festival', in Birmingham, this summer. Until then, though, I only had vague memories of his appearances in 'Sharpe'. However, after hearing him at Moseley, I realised how woefully inadequate my c.d. collection was and after purchasing 'The Definitive Collection', to get an idea of just what I'd been missing out on all these years, went on to buy all his other albums i.e. 'Unity', 'Home' and 'The Reckoning'. He has a well developed ear for melody and it shows in all of his beautifully crafted compositions. I recommend this album as you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant., 18 Nov 2008
By shentog "shentog" (Trimdon, England) - See all my reviews
First came to my attention through the Sharpe series and he just gets better and better. Recently saw him live and the man and his music are well worth a listen. This collection of many of the songs he is well known for plus a few he is less well known for is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Tams folk music, 7 Nov 2009
By Mrs. C. E. Selzer (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very good.
John Tams has a lovely voice.
I really liked the harmonies.

I wonder if John Tams ever played informally in a pub near Barrow in Furness ? The land lord would provide free beer in a big jug to the group who sat round the middle table and had a jam session.

I shall look out for more of him singing taditional folk ,having said that, the first track on the CD was fantastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars John Tams The Definative Collection
Well worth the money spent, and a excellent introduction to Folk and John Tams.
Enjoyed it so much that I'm now considering buying the entire back catalogue.

A 'snapshot', or 'soundbite' of so much brilliant work over many years. Those who have only come to Tamsy as a result of Sharpe should not overlook the years of earlier work... Read more
