4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless quality to her tunes., January 29, 2008

By

This review is from: Tim's House (Audio CD)

The 24-year-old guitarist recorded her album in a friend's bedroom and named it "Tim's House" in his honour.
Ignored by mainstream press and radio, "Tim's House" is the latest example of an artist - and an album - bypassing the traditional publicity routes and finding success by word of mouth on the internet.
The homemade album has proved in UK a unexpected hit with iPod fans who had downloaded it from the iTunes website in their thousands - knocking Take That and Kaiser Chiefs from the top spots.
Walsh has risen from nowhere to top the iTunes charts - ironic, considering she doesn't own an iPod.
Hailing from Burnham On Crouch in rural Essex, Walsh also claims not to have turned on her telly since July 2005.
You can kind of hear it in her music, which seems untouched by modern life, and her voice, which is as calm and unfettered as the late Eva Cassidy's.
It's not even remotely revolutionary: "Tim's House" is delicately poised, composed of gentle strums, brush pats on a snare drum and Kate's whisper. But that's the only platform she needs, because in these quiet moments a power resides - a bruised intensity that creeps from beneath pretty tunes.
There's a timeless quality to the songs too - especially the gorgeous "Your Song and Goldfish" - and the subtle, warm production.
If you're searching for Britain's answer to Norah Jones, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible..., July 4, 2007

By 

30 Great Books (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I found Kate Walsh on MySpace somewhat randomly, and from the strength of the three songs on her page, I decided to buy her album. She's incredibly talented and deserves much more attention. I highly recommend this album (and I don't usually write music reviews!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving CD, July 19, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

I love this album. I heard the first track, "Your Song" on the KCRW, though it wasn't available to download on itunes, not wanting to wait until it was I ordered the album. I am over the moon that I did. The rest of the album is as beautiful as the song I first heard, the lyrics are deep and sometimes moving, the melodies memorable and kates voice is icing on the cake! I play "Your song" to my new born son every night...he also loves it!
