Free Music Notes for Little Lights
Free Music Review: Best Impulse Buy Ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
I randomly picked this up while in a little shop in Scotland and purchased it after the woman in the store told me how good it was. It was the BEST IMPULSE BUY EVER! I love every song and am now an avid Kate Rusby fan! I would highly recommend any of her albums as she is extremely talented!
Little Lights Poster
Kate Rusby's fragile, haunting voice is only the first reason among equals that makes Little Lights such an unmitigated delight. Just as wondrous are her delicate acoustic arrangements of traditional tunes, the sensitive musicianship of her collaborators (notably guitarists Ian Carr and John Doyle, and the refined backing vocals of Eddi Reader), and, last but definitely not least, her burgeoning songwriting skills. There are more Rusby originals here than on her previous two solo albums, with the catchy story-songs "I Courted a Sailor" and "William and Davy" proving standout items. That is until the extraordinary climax of the album with "My Young Man"--a deeply personal song about Rusby's own grandparents--in which her molasses-rich voice is accompanied by a heavenly brass choir. Elsewhere, an achingly mournful cover of Richard Thompson's "Withered and Died" once again demonstrates Rusby's subtle magic with other people's material. (As a bonus track, the Rusby clan gets together for an impromptu family rendition of "The Big Ship Sails.") Anyone charmed by Rusby's Mercury Award-nominated Sleepless or her mature debut Hourglass need not hesitate. Those yet to discover one of the finest voices in British folk should rush to acquire all three. --Mark WalkerFolk Music CDs
