4.0 out of 5 stars
Young, talented and armed with a recording contract., July 8, 2003
This review is from: Turn to Me (Audio CD)
"Turn to Me" is a pleasant introduction to this young British folksinger. Jones isn't breaking new ground here, but she's honing her skills on an album made up mostly of traditional pieces given fresh service with her clear, sweet vocals and solid arrangements.
Her arranging skills are displayed best in her combination of Andy Irvine's "Blood & Gold" and Buffy Ste. Marie's "The Universal Soldier," blended with hints of "Swallowtail Jig" and a strong piano line underscoring Jones's sincere vocals. "A Jug of This" is subtle in its driving energy, but it's another prime example of her fledgling skill. Jones makes only a few attempts at composition, but her original work is strong enough to suggest there's more to come.
