Free Music Review: God's Gift to Folk Music? Absolutely!
Hit: 5 Stars
It has been years since I've been so moved by a piece of music in any genre (maybe not since I first heard Vivaldi's Adagio for Strings as background music to the film GALLIPOLI). Rusby's voice has that same ability to grab your heart at its core and hang onto it. The sound itself goes beyond intellect, reaching deep into your heart and soul; yet once you stop to focus on the lyrics, you'll be astonished all over again. "Annan Waters," "A Rose in May," and "I Am Stretched Out on Your Grave" have been playing over and over in my head when I'm away from my CD player. The subtle arrangements on this album meet perfection, enhancing the songs, the lyrics, and the artist's unique vocalizations. (A previous viewer couldn't be more right about the way the piano enters "Annan Waters.") Rusby's songwriting talent is equally awesome. If you aren't well-versed in traditional songs, you'll find it impossible to tell them from her newly penned gems. I first heard Rusby in an interview on NPR while driving home. (Unfortunately, this was at the end of her short US tour--please come back soon, Kate!). She was promoting her new album, LITTLE LIGHTS. With no hesitation, I turned off the highway and stopped at the mall to pick it. Since then, I've been tracking down everything Rusby has recorded, including Poozies and Battlefield Band CDs. LITTLE LIGHTS is a bit more polished than HOURGLASS; frankly, I prefer the latter for its rare combination of rawness and fragility. Kate Rusby is an incredible, unexpected talent. (Dare I say God's gift to folk music?) This HOURGLASS is one you'll keep turning over and over--you won't want it to run down.
