Free Music Review: Great songs well sung
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Kate Rusby for a number of years, and this album has quickly become my favorite. Her music tends to tell stories in beautiful song, and in them are found all the raw and agonal emotion of traditional folk ballads. Even where she composes her own songs, these raw emotions often remain in the lyrics encapsulated in her beautiful voice.
One of my favorite songs on this album is "I Wish" which is a portrait of the regret of a girl who has become pregnant by a man who has since moved on to someone else. Here she uses words of a traditional song with her own melody to create a fantastic effect.
Similarly the tragedy in "The Drowned Lovers" which features a curses by a mother (and in one interpretation even murder) against her son and meddling by another mother which lead to both lovers drowned in the Clyde, encapsulates this tragedy in beautiful singing.
Not all songs are heavy though. Sir Eglamore documents a knight who fights a dragon to a stalemate (and wounds the dragon but loses his sword), and The Sweet Bride is about a woman who rides off with an otherworldly figure (similar to Mannanan Mac Lir of Irish myth) to wed him.
All in all, a very strong set of songs well done. Highly recommended and shows the true potential of traditional music.
Ten Poster
On 10, a celebration of Kate Rusby's first decade as a recording artist, she reminds us once again that it's possible to sing ancient ballads about brave knights, fair maidens, rustic villagers, and all the other denizens of Folk Song Land with an immediacy and emotional intensity that are completely modern. Four of the 15 songs here were culled from her earlier CDs; two new songs, "I Wish" and "Over You Now," were composed by Rusby; and two are live recordings. The remaining seven tracks are new versions of previously recorded songs, including "The Recruited Collier," the first song her mother taught her, and "The Wild Goose," a raucous sea shanty reinvented as a gentle meditation on longing. Rusby has been performing these selections for years now, and her new takes on them reveal a restless artist searching for a different path to the heart of familiar songs. She is accompanied by an excellent group of musicians, including fiddler John McCusker, guitarist Ian Carr, and accordionist Andy Cutting. Their playing is spare but each note is perfectly placed. 10 beautifully sums up Kate Rusby's first decade as a professional musician, while suggesting that the best is yet to come. --Michael SimmonsFolk Music CDs
