Hit: 3 Stars
Probably almost anything Kate Rusby did after "Hourglass" would be a letdown, so I can't really shout "sophomore slump!" yet. "Sleepless" has a gracefully somber texture, and Rusby has a wonderful voice for folk music -- supple, understated, cleverly inflected, and just Yorkshire enough to be charming but not "cute." However, the material on "Sleepless" isn't as strong as her previous recordings (Rusby doesn't sound as excited by it, either), and her duets in particular sound uninspired and awkward -- odd, since she sings so well with the Poozies and Kathryn Roberts. The CD is helped considerably at its end by two "bonus" tracks, both of which work better than some of the material on the album proper. If "Hourglass" weren't already out there, I'd probably be more impressed -- not fair, but that's what happens when a first album is so good.Free Music Review: Just a bad CD
Hit: 1 Stars
This has to be the worst CD I have ever heard or purchased. Sleepless is a great name for this effort, just the thought of playing this would give me nightmares and cause me many sleepless nights. It's not that Kate has a bad voice, it's the poorly arranged songs and the way Kate delivered each effort. No emotion whatsoever!!! It was as if she spent a day or so recording each track, then slapping everything together on a CD and then delivered the bunch to the music stores. The best darn song on the CD (The Cobblers Daughter) was completely ruined by Kate. I would really love to hear Connie Dover deliver this song on one of her upcoming efforts...the result would be mind blowing!!! I have a rather extensive Celtic collection with artist ranging from Connie Dover to Loreena McKennitt, to Karen Casey and Mary Dillon of Deanta. Unfortunately, Kate can't compare to any of them.
