Free Music Notes for Little Lights
Free Music Review: pure, clear, grassy voice
Hit: 4 Stars
When I played this CD at the first time, her voice was amazingly so pure that it changed the air in my room. It seems too clear to be seen its core, but her touchable voice has the heart. Sings are elegant, lovely, also staunch, like as grass. Always I enjoy her voice and am surprised at the last one. In spite of short of various atmosphere in the latter half (except the last one), at all times she sings gracefully resonantly, with dancing the sound of the guiter accompanying.Free Music Review: Another strong disc
Hit: 4 Stars
At times the arrangements intrude just a bit and the material is a tad weaker than Hourglass, but those are minor quibbles. She still projects a wonderful sincerity and can pull off somewhat sentimental material like Who Will Sing Me Lullabies without much trouble. Still a voice to die for. Fans will certainly be happy and first timers might be better off with Hourglass.Free Music Review: Charming and sweet
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the only Kate Rusby album I have. I'm not a big fan - just like her performances on the album. The settings are intimate and quiet here, the kind of music you'd hear in some pub in a coastal town in the UK. With some influences from sea shanties and English folk, you get the feeling of a modern Jane Austen who sings with a guitar, rather than writes novels. Sweet.Free Music Review: Lives Up To The Hype
Hit: 4 Stars
Its not very often that a person/album can live up to the hype that surrounds them, but Little Lights by Kate Rusby does just that. With tracks of high quality like Playing Of Ball, Some Tyrant, Canaan's Land and Merry Green Broom it's easy to see why there is so much hype surrounding Kate. This is a must have album as its one of the standout albums of the yearFree Music Review: dissapointing
Hit: 3 Stars
As always, Kate's voice is lovely,and her interpretation of traditional material is uncommonly sensitive, but I have to say that this album is dissapointingly monochromatic. Most of the songs here seem to be moderately upbeat, sung in a moderate tempo, and not very interesting melodically. Good for 'wallpaper music,' but little else. Kate is very good at doing the happy thing, but, as anybody who has heard her previous two albums knows, she is also very, very, good at doing the tragic heartwrenching thing, and I would have liked to hear some of that on 'little lights.' Even the sad songs on this album ('playing of ball,'etc ) lack the sense of grand tragedy you get from listening to 'I am stretched on your grave' (from 'Hourglass') or 'Ranzo' (from 'sleepless.') And I know a lot of people would dissagree with me here, but I think that if you are going to sing songs in a traditional style, you might as well sing actual traditional songs, and not bother making up your own-- they just aren't as good. Buy 'Hourglass.' Don't bother with this.
