This is yet another uplifting and life-affirming effort from Seth Lakeman. He seems to really divide opinion. I know a lot of people think he is overrated but I find it impossible to see him as anything other than one of the finest musicians currently working in this country! He is a superlative musician technically, able to play numerous instruments to a very high standard, a warm and inspiring singer and a first rate songwriter. The nay sayers need to seriously listen to him and not let some trad-folk prejudice against people who get things moving with a jaunty rhythm blind them. Listening to him is inspiring even when his songs aren't of the finest. I am into all sorts of music but as far as folk goes I am definitely at Seth's ... Read More:

Brilliant, witty, rude, anarchic, multi-styled, multi-layered ! Eliza Carthy produces a career-highlight album Styles and boundaries are blown aside in a magical display of contemporary (Hard to categorise as 'Folk') music Musicianship throughout is superb from all participants and lyrics are at once thought-provoking and amusing 'Oranges and Sea-salt' is a classic This album puts Eliza right up there with Richard Thompson as one of our national treasures !

Ok...so I'm new to the folk scene, but what an introduction. Excellent!! Made me want more and feel more confident about exploring the possibilities.

6.The Bairns by: Rachel Unthank And The Winterset August 20, 2007

After hearing a lot of good things about Rachel Unthank in the press and catching a couple of promising sounding tracks on Mike Harding's Folk on 2, I was looking forward to hearing The Bairns in its entirety. As the finishing bars melted away, I had already lost the will to live and was furiously trying to remember how to fashion a hangman's knot ! This is really, really depressing album. Like June Tabor, Rachel U has a melancholic voice which is perfect for the moody,tragedy of the her songs' subject matter. Of course death,lost love and regret are stock in trade in Folk music. Unfortunately,Rachel's interpretations makes a traditional mournful ballad like say 'Little Musgrave' delivered by someone like Martin Simpson sound like Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep ... Read More:

Already being a big fan,maybe I'm biased but this has been on repeat ever since I downloaded it from Kates web site. Beautifully understated, soaring vocal, every bit as lovely as when we heard it at Hull City Hall earlier this year. Must be chart bound!!!

8.The Fairest Floo'er by: Karine Polwart December 10, 2007

I came across the CD by chance as I'd never heard of Karine Polwart, but decided to give it a try after listening to a brief extract of Mirk, Mirk is This Midnight Hour. I am so pleased I took the risk - it is absolutely astounding. I have always liked Dowie Dens of Yarrow since I heard Bert Jansch's version, but Karine's is so beautifully sung with such a hauntingly sparse accompaniment it has me in tears every time I listen to it. A wonderful CD!

9.I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too by: Martha Wainwright May 12, 2008

Believe me, it's usually the other way round. Usually I have nothing but praise for the man and his show that introduce me to so many fantastic artists. But in the case of this album, seeing Martha Wainwright perform on that show before purchasing `I Know You're Married, but I've Got Feelings Too' has ruined me, because if I hadn't seen her perform live I would have been blissfully unaware that in the right form this collection of songs presents an absolutely incredible portrait of a uniquely charismatic singer/song-writer. But not when they're delivered with decidedly less passion on an over-produced album that is not a proper showcase for these beautifully written songs and the tortured/passionate voice that always performs to perfect spine-tingling effect in the right setting. ...

These two created their musical partnership after a random pairing on a concert bill (2005's Daughters of Albion concert in Cork). There must have been much mutual intuition floating about in the sessions because they sound like they've been playing together for years. Kathryn has said that "the whole experience was the musical equivalent of standing naked in front of the person you love and wanting them to like you." In various sheds and garages (independent artists always say that! But Kathryn wouldn't lie to us, would she?!), they recorded twenty one songs in six days, whittling them down to the thirteen released on this wondrous record. A languorous and hushed, homely atmosphere wraps itself around the songs, with Williams and MacColl sharing vocals (although the latter sometimes ... Read More:
