Free Music Review: Not as stunning as 10 but still great in a different way
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the better contrasts that can be offered for people familiar with Rusby's music would be to contrast it with 10.
10 was a stunning album with a number of stories which grabbed the heart and mind and were supported by a simple music style where the beauty of the song could shine through with no distractions.
Under the Stars is much more musically complex. The style is similar outwardly but the music is much fuller and richer. Although I wish her music continued the raw power of her earlier song selection, I think it this a refinement on her earlier styles.
For anyone wanting a softer intro to Rusby's music, I would highly recommend this album, as I would for the seasoned Rusby fan.
Underneath the Stars Poster
2003 album from the sweetheart of English folk song. 12 tracks. Compass.Rusby's fifth solo recording, like previous efforts, boasts a well-crafted selection of original compositions and ancient ballads. While she has rightly been praised for the sheer beauty of her voice--which has never sounded better than on these dozen tracks--her greatest gift may be her ability to choose traditional songs and rework them in subtle and imaginative new ways. She's not afraid to add new words and compose her own melodies to melancholy odes to lost love like "Let Me Be" and "Cruel," which fairly trade emotional intensity for authenticity. Rusby is helped out musically by her husband, Scottish fiddler John McCusker, who produced the CD and helped ensure that every note played by the guitars, citterns, accordions, and flutes is perfectly placed to accent the vocals. Underneath the Stars is not a departure from Rusby's previous work; rather it is a refinement of what she has done before. --Michael John Simmons
