I liked the stuff she did in early SS with Gay Wood (their first album)s and then a few years back on a powerhouse SS album called TIME in which their voices just bob and weave and soar.
No video but you can hear the songs (all primo stuff) at this linky.
Give a listen to YOU WILL BURN.
Turn it way up
I think my favorite with Gay Woods is "All Things are Quite Silent" from Hark! The Village Wait. Actually IMO the whole album is good for Woods.
Thanks for the link. Have you heard Silly Sisters, where she sings with June Tabor? She another great voice.
and Tabor is a fine singer. Have you ever heard the EP she did with the Oyster Band? They are playing together again apparently, I found this video whil looking for the older stuff they did...
Yes, I have the CD "Freedom and Rain" on which this cut appears. There is so much good music in this genre.
this song was from letters written by a father in Ireland to his son who went to America...
never to return to see the old man. It is, bar none, the saddest song I ever have heard and man, I have heard many. There are 2 versions, the first is new to me, the second is the one that I use when I've tipped the Single Malt and get to feeling homesick....but...as they say, you can't go home again.
Some may prefer this version, I certainly do.
The bass player, Ray Cooper, used to play in Amazorblades back in Brighton with Ben Mandelson now of Billy Bragg's Blokes.
If you ever (and it's unlikely) come across a recording of THEM ,it is an awakening experience.
Some weeks I couldn't get them out of my house... ;-)
