4.0 out of 5 stars
Lovely Scottish folk songs,
This review is from: Sands of the Shore (MP3 Download)
"Sands of the Shore" is my first experience hearing Cameron, who describes herself as a balladeer. I wouldn't dispute that title at all and I will be looking for more of her music in the future. The CD is pure, simple pleasure to listen to. If you enjoy Kate Rusby, Cathie Ryan, or Connie Dover's lovely soprano, you should add this CD to your collection.
This 17-song compilation is a mix of Traditionals from Scottish, English, American and Canadian folk classics. Her choices are not among the most commonly covered songs, In the Month of January, I Have Four Brothers, and Tamlin are the only songs I've heard often from other artists. Most of the songs are a cappella with Ms. Cameron offering the melody with a joining chorus. Instrumentation is simple and acoustic. Three of the songs: Kate's Ballad, Lament of a Miner's Wife, and Branwyn's Pleasure, were written by Cameron. Kate's Ballad tells the tale of a woman who lived alone ending up beguiled by a man with a silvery tongue. Lament of a Miner's Wife details the life of a couple when the husband goes on strike and the ultimate cost. Branwyn's Pleasure is a joyous instrumental that's a great day brightener.
