The Box Set 1964-2004

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Christy Moore

Release Date March 22, 2004
I just downloaded this box set, 101 songs in total from itunes uk. The whole thing cost £6.99. I don't know if it's an error or not, but it's a fantastic bargain. The material is wonderful, a real treasure trove. Scorching, angry, political, passionate, funny, charming, beautiful.. how many more adjectives are there to describe this body of work? Get it here for the packaging, which I'm sure is marvellous, or get it from itunes for the music, before they put the price up!

Essence

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Lucinda Williams

Release Date May 01, 2003
Hurt and desire mapped by a country poet. Charlie Sexton sprinkles gorgeous guitar lines like gold dust. Making lazy comparisons with Neil Young or whomever is pointless beacause she really is out there on her own.

The Book of Secrets

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Loreena McKennitt

Release Date June 13, 2006
I based my decision to buy this on reviews and I'm so glad I went with the majority. Loreena has a stunning voice and the music is superb. Relaxing for me as I'm very much a Heavy Rock fan and Blues listener but do occasionally dabble in folk. It's worth every penny as far as I'm concerned and I'm sure to buy a second album from her soon.

Nicely Out of Tune

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Lindisfarne

Release Date May 03, 2004
Nicely , is an old album that I turn to when my rock collection does`nt quite fit the bill. my first Lindisfarne album `fog on the tyne` comes out now and again but since I got `Nicely` remastered it is perfect to listen to or even dare I say to have tinkling away in the back ground you cant go wrong if its in your collection. who are they like? hard to slot into any category folk rock geordie style. Alan Hull`s a English Dylan/Neil Young type writer.

One World [Deluxe Edition]

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: John Martyn

Release Date November 01, 2004
All the recent Martyn remasters have come up a treat. It's amazing how much care was put into those albums - says so much about Island, and its quality control in the 70's.
If you only have 3 of his albums (you need more than one to get the idea of the man's talent), I'd suggest this one, Solid Air and Grace & Danger.
One minor gripe - I'm almost positive that the correct version of Dealer (as it appeared on the original vinyl) is version #2 on cd2 - the intro on the version that appears on cd1 is way too short.

Hourglass

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Kate Rusby

Release Date March 01, 1997
This had to be one of the all time best Kate Rusby albums. It has fantastic songs and a lot of them are either fast and memorable, or slower but at the same time catchy. All the tracks on this CD are actually very well done, but the best ones have to be:

Sir Eglamore - it's a song about a dragon. Who couldn't love that? It had a really good sort of repeating line as well, that keeps the tune going and adds to the overall flavour of the track.

Radio Sweethearts - A sweet old tune about an old couple waltzing to a radio. You would think that it would be slow and set to a waltz it self, but it goes at a medium pace and has a veyr nice little melody to it!

I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Based on an old poem, this is by far the best song on the ... Read More:

Sundirtwater

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Waifs

Release Date April 28, 2008
"Sundirtwater" is the fifth album from The Waifs, a folk-rock band from Western Australia. Their resume is fairly impressive, with their double-platinum fourth album "Up All Night", and a tour with Bob Dylan both in Australia and North America. "Sundirtwater" is a fine addition to their discography as well, with a title track which has a jazzy groove which is as addictive as anything I have heard recently. There are also a dozen other tracks which may not have the same initial draw as "Sundirtwater", but all of which hold their own with repeated listening.

This is not a group trying to repeat their past successes, but one which is exploring their musical limits. Undoubtedly they will not shed the "Folk-Rock" label with this album, but the styles go far beyond that. It is by no ... Read More:

Silly Sisters

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Folk
by: Silly Sisters

Release Date July 10, 1995
Worthwhile getting if only to listen to track eight, "Geordie" which I first listened to in 1976 (if my memory is not playing tricks with me). As for the rest, time HAS caught up with me and as folk is not something I listen on a regular and avid basis, you'll have to take my word for it.
