Brilliant English Folk Music,
By Jay Immel (Otley, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portraits: Harry Cox (Audio CD)
Harry Cox (1885-1971) was one of the twentieth century's finest interpreters of traditional English folk music. In 1953, archivists Alan Lomax and Peter Kennedy interviewed Cox and taped him performing over two dozen songs. "What Will Become of England?" is a marvelous anthology of these recordings. In the interviews the album includes, Cox engagingly discussed his childhood, his life as a farm laborer in Norfolk, and his musical repertoire. The songs in the anthology feature his powerful unaccompanied vocals. The album includes ribald tales ("The Farmer's Servant") and tender love songs ("The Spotted Cow"). Cox also sang about fishing ("Barton Broad Babbling Ballad") and sailing ("The Yarmouth Fisherman's Song"). Regardless of the subject matter, all of the music is excellent. "What Will Become of England?" wonderfully chronicles the life and singing of an English legend.
