Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man

by: Waterson:Carthy

Release Date October 30, 2006
I know that everyone has their style but I came to the folk genre via Coope Boyes and Simpson and so I would urge those people who have given this CD rave reviews to buy 'What we sing is what we are' and you will understand why I found Holy Heathens such a disappointment. The vocal quality was poor in comparison and none of my nerves tingled.Hey ho!

The Definitive Collection

by: Watersons

Release Date October 06, 2003
Mike Waterson and his two sisters, Norma and Elaine (known as Lal), originally formed the group together with a cousin, John Harrison. The group disbanded in 1966 but re-formed in 1972 with Bernie Vickers replacing John. After recording one album, Martin Carthy replaced Bernie. Martin remained a member of Steeleye Span and soon married Norma, their marriage producing Eliza Carthy, who eventually became a major star of the British folk scene.

The members of the group worked on various albums together, separately and with other folk singers. Although this does not contain any of Martin's music with Steeleye Span (easily obtained elsewhere), it includes some recordings by Waterson-Carthy (Martin, Norma and Eliza) and Blue Murder (Mike, Martin, ...

Norma Waterson

by: Norma Waterson

Release Date April 01, 2002
of Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Richard Thompson and Jerry Garcia songs...and was not dissapointed. Norma's version of God Loves A Drunk is, in my opinion, better than Richard Thompson's himself!
With a great line-up of backing musicians (including Danny and Richard Thompson) this album is a quietly beautiful folk album comparable with the very best of June Tabor.

Bright Shiny Morning

by: Norma Waterson

Release Date June 09, 2008
I can't say this is the best folk music cd I've ever heard, but I can't bring a better one to mind. Norma Waterson's voice is ideal for the type of songs on this cd. My favourite track would have to be My flower, my companion and me yet I'm always dissapointed when I hear it as it's the last one. I would recommend listening to this cd with eyes closed. It's music to lose yourself in
