5.0 out of 5 stars A few things you should know about 'For As Many As Will', December 29, 2009

This review is from: For As Many As Will (Audio CD)

With beautful minimalist arrangements from Dolly Collins, and Shirley Collins' incredible voice, this is a first rate English folk album. Apart from a cover of Richard Thomson's 'Never Again' (a haunting piece about the passage of time), the songs are mainly traditional songs of Southern England. Especially worth noting is 'The Blacksmith Courted Me' (actually track five - there is an error in the tracklisting). The combination of sadness and resignation on this song of forsaken love is gut wrenching, and Shirley commented in an interview that it still breaks her heart. Because of this track alone I give the album five stars, but all the material is really good.
