5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly simple, bitter-sweet, beautiful., June 18, 1998

This review is from: Some Other Time (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite June Tabor albums. It shows off her voice without undue distraction. The mood is quiet, meditative, and almost hypnotic in places. It tends to provoke deep thought and feeling. If you like to be constantly stimulated by noise and jangle, avoid this album. However, it is perfect for a quiet evening when you are lost in melancholic reverie.

This review is from: Some Other Time (Audio CD)

I'm a huge June Tabor fan and have most of her CDs. She is a great interpreter of traditional folk music and contemporary singer-songwriters. She has a stark, dramatic vocal delivery and generally choses her songs with care and thought. What she is not is a jazz singer. Her vocals do not swing and just simply are not suited for jazz standards. Her singing on this album comes across as brittle and wooden. Her vocal range is not that dissimilar to Peggy Lee, but Peggy Lee is able to sing with a jazz rhythm and beat, while June, unfortunately, is not. Every artist is encouraged to stretch and try new areas, but I'm afraid this was a failed experiment on her part.
