Editorial Reviews

1997 Wooded Hill Recordings. FROM THE BRIT/FOLK CELTIC MUSIC GUIDE: This husband-wife duo was one of the earlier and -- in their time -- more influential of the English hyper-traditionalists. Partial to unaccompanied a capella vocals and old, super-obscuro folk ballads, these folks were a bit on the arid, the-sparser-the-better end of the spectrum. This CD reissues material from two of their seminal early albums, 1967's Morning Stands On Tiptoe and The Lark In The Morning from 1969 (originally released on Argo and Topic Records, respectively). Listened to from start to finish, this mega-collection may be more than enough for the casual listener, but it's certainly a treasure trove of interesting material. As with the Collins sisters, I find this style to be an acquired taste, and you will probably either be nonplussed or completely consumed by it. But if you dig raw olde English folk music, this is definitely worth checking out.
