 Rating:  - Worth it for the Kinks reworkingHow can anyone who has heard this album agree with the creature who gave it 1 star? Whilst it's not my favourite KR set, it shines like a diamond in the dross of contemporary music and is worth the purchase price for the kinks rework from Jam & Jerusalem. Rating:  - Sure to please all folk fans.This is one of Kate's best albums. In the past she has tended to overload her selections with the same themes, many of them quite despondent. Despite her unfortunate personal problems she has somehow managed to come up with a greater share of "up" songs. It's a policy I hope she maintains.Her voice is as sweet as ever,her production sounds in no way inferior to John McCusker, and she has enlisted a couple of new backing musicians to add to her usual retinue. This has helped to freshen things up.Chris Thile does a lovely harmony (along with Eddi Reader)on High on a Hill, plays mandolin and is joined by the excellent John Doyle on another track.

It's a family effort with brother helping out with the production and doing the mixing - which is very patchy. The best track on the album, 'The Streams of Lovely Nancy' is ruined by the intrusion of the now seemingly obligatory brass band while 'Blooming Heather' is quite the worst rendering of this beautiful song that I have ever heard. Far from enhancing the piece, the intervention of operatic tenor, John Hudson, ... Read More: Rating: - what a sublime surpriseI love taking risks with my music don't you? Having heard the calming Village Green Preservation Society and a brief look at all the reviews here I dived in and bought this CD. Five stars! What more can I say. It's a beautiful album and perfect for those mellow days. Rating: - Her best yetThis is a super album. Kate's wonderful voice and beautiful arrangements of a mix of trad folk and new songs make for an almost perfect album. Planets is probably my favourite but it's so hard to choose. |
