And Winter Came
Enya
Enya's album contains androids from inside a tape machine. WELL, let me explain. Firstly; yes, this is real, horrible nasty articulate word witch Enya has become pregnant with sound and is threatening to catapult her lifeless torso onto a moving spike that exists somewhere on track 5, she is helped by Wazzy Dave. |
The Essential Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen
The two-disc retrospective The Essential Leonard Cohen traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little, to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 1960s songcraft of "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire", the "folksinger" tag never really... |
Sweet Bells
Kate Rusby
Carol singing and Yorkshire would seem to go hand in hand. Who better to record an album of Christmas carols then, than South Yorkshire’s own Kate Rusby? Regarded as one of the UK’s best folk singers thanks to breathtaking albums like Hourglass, Sleepless and the recent Awkward Annie, Sweet Bells gives us Rusby’s own repertoire of... |
That's Proper Folk
Various Artists
Really disappointed with this, even if it is cheap. If you want wonderful contemporary folk, check out the solo album by Meg Baird (from the Espers)

Raising Sand
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and bluegrass crooner Alison Krauss may not be the likeliest of musical combinations. But on this welcome collaboration album, they work beautifully together, wringing a kind of magic from other people’s songs. The key to the album is its versatility. Between them, Krauss and Plant can handle a vast repertoire on their own, and here they take on the lot, from folk... |
Various Positions
Leonard Cohen
Various Positions was Leonard Cohen's first album of the 1980s, yet was in keeping with the rest of his albums in two important respects: one, it sounded absolutely nothing like anything else anyone else was doing; two, it was a compelling reason for anyone else dealing in songs of love and its loss to wonder why they were bothering. As a lyricist, Cohen has few, if any, peers--he has never... |
Alas I Cannot Swim
Laura Marling
Reading-based songstress Laura Marling has been likened to veteran folksters Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. Despite such hyperbolic accolades, her entry into the crowded world of young female singer-songwriters has been remarkably hushed and wonderfully organic. Having started writing songs at the age of 15, Marling's success has been achieved not by shouting, but by whispering her way through the ranks.... |
Welcome to Mali
Amadou & Mariam
Very disappointed with this album. Not a patch on their original offerings. There were a few riffs here and there that were recognisable as Amadou & Mariam but mostly swamped by western rhythms and noise. I doubt if I will listen to it again. |
Gossip in the Grain
Ray LaMontagne
Gossip in the Grain, Ray LaMontagne's third full length, is a slightly different record from 2007's Till the Sun Turns Black. But then that album was of course a move on from his 2004 debut, Trouble. Obviously creative progression is a large part of LaMontagne’s vision, which chimes well with that of his pal and producer Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams). On Gossip in the... | |
