Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful music!An outstanding CD from a group of extremely talented musicians. As the title may suggest, they are not afraid of rough edges - letting the music speak for itself. The result is brimful with vitality, the songs having had none of the soul 'polished' out of them. Personalluy, I enjoy the a capella singing, but that may be a matter of taste. A special mention must go to 'Turpin Hero' - until recently I had only heard this beautiful song done by Shirley Collins - in the space of that past year I have come across performances both this CD and an earlier version by Ewan MacColl. All are very satisfying , in their different ways. Rating:  - very busySome very good fiddling and box-playing here and some great singing by Herself. But unlike the brilliant Anglicana, which seems now a deeper and darker record, this one was more of a CD made for a tour and a season of festival gigs, with the arrangements busy with all the band wanting to be in there, playing and singing away. Too often, the result's a bit of a mess, over-dense. As sometimes happens, when everyone's over-playing, there's a loss of energy (and also of feeling). The busy-ness works well on some of the tunes, and best on a really terrific version of the old drinking song, Tom Brown. Rating:  - Stylish issue of legends Could this girl fail in folk music given her Parents? Well she could have if she just became a clone of them instead she chose to take a different route and to freshen up folk music with a more contemporary feel. This is one of my favourite folk music albums and a welcome break from manufactured musicians all too prevalent nowadays. This is a very enjoyable album of mainly traditional folk tunes and well worth adding to any collection. Rating: - Eliza's Best Album yet?Striking through it's seemingly total absence of percussion throughout, rough music is a masterpiece in modern English Folk. It seems Eliza and her fellow musicians 'the ratcatchers' are returning to a more traditional sound with this latest album, certainly when compared to the critically acclaimed if slightly more commercial preceding album, 'Anglicana'. This said, it is as with all of Eliza Carthy's previous albums, hugely accessable for a wider (and dare I say it, younger?!)audience who are unaccustomed to English Folk music. I love it. I'm sure you will to! Rating: - BrilliantThe album is absolutely brilliant. Its the best one she has done so far, and probably the best folk album I have ever heard. The music, the singing, the songs, all are superb. The only problem is I can't get it back off my daughter! |
