Free Music Notes for Sleepless
Free Music Review: very different and refreshing
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD after learning about Kate Rusby through Amazon. I listened to the samples on the site and was immediately drawn to Kate's voice. I've had the CD about a week and it hasn't left my CD player yet. The songs are all very different sounding and the instruments used have a fabulous sound. My personal favorites have to be the upbeat "Fairest of all Yarrow" and "The Sleepless Sailor", but I enjoy all of the songs. I would highly recommend this CD even for those people who are not really into folk music much less English folk. I think that Sleepless could appeal to most anyone who enjoys beautiful singing accompanied by various flutes, whistles, and fiddles.Free Music Review: Great Album - Quirky & Fun
Hit: 5 Stars
I freely admit to being one whose tastes run more towards the pierced-navel gazing sort of folk music, so I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed this CD. I bought it because of Kate's amazing cover of Iris Dement's "Our Town" and have come to love the other tunes here as well. Kate's voice is stunning and the arrangements are simple (nothing like those of Loreena McKennitt whose music I either find lush and haunting or pretentious and over-the-top, depending on my mood) and, despite the high body count, there is humor to be found throughout. Recommended to all, even to those who believe themselves to have an aversion to traditional folk.Free Music Review: Surprise!

After hearing her interviewed on NPR and watching my wife flip over the purity of Kate Rusby's voice I immediately ordered the CD. It was a surprise for my wife. But it turned out to be an even bigger surprise for me. Even though my wife and I agree that Rusby has a crystalline voice, it is I who has been spellbound and captured by the "other worldliness" of her melody, words and her wonderful pronunciation all cloaked in wistful sadness. I highly recommend this CD. A warning, however, that Kate Rusby's music is powerful magic.Free Music Review: Rusby Casts A Spell

There are so few truly strong, spell-weaving folk-based young stylists in the singer/songwriter/groupleader realm these days. In the U.S. it's Judith Edelman on albums like "Only Sun," and in the U.K. it's Rusby on "Sleepless" and "Hourglass" These are artists whose albums are real listening experiences--all the way through. Remember when that was the reason to buy albums!Free Music Review: timmy, you've been in the sun too long
Hit: 5 Stars
this is a lovely authentic set of songs sung in northern english folk style and has kate's lovely south yorkshire cadences ( timmy from california, don't confuse it with celtic that's something different). if you want something to remind you of the rainy and windswept pennines this is it.
