Our Take

Norma Waterson shakes up the folk scene with her album "An Introduction to." This collection of tracks is like a fine wine - it gets better with age. Waterson's haunting vocals send shivers down your spine, making you feel like you're sitting around a campfire in the middle of the English countryside.

The album kicks off with "Black Muddy River," a poignant ballad that showcases Waterson's raw emotion and storytelling abilities. As you move through the tracklist, you're taken on a journey through love, loss, and redemption. Each song is a masterpiece in its own right, but together they form a cohesive and powerful body of work.

Waterson's voice is the star of the show here, but the instrumentation is equally impressive. The folk melodies are beautifully arranged, with each instrument adding depth and nuance to the overall sound. From the gentle strum of a guitar to the mournful wail of a fiddle, every note is carefully crafted to evoke a specific mood or feeling.

"An Introduction to" is a stunning album that proves Norma Waterson is a force to be reckoned with in the folk music world. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just dipping your toe into the genre, this is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music. So grab a cup of tea, put on your coziest jumper, and let Norma Waterson transport you to another world with her enchanting melodies. Cheers to that, mate!

About the artist

Norma Waterson

Norma Waterson may not be a household name, but her influence on British folk music is nothing to scoff at. As a founding member of the Watersons, she helped bring traditional songs back into the mainstream in the 1960s and 70s. But don't let her age fool you - at 81, she's still belting out tunes with the best of them. With a voice like honey and a stage presence that's equal parts charming and formidable, Waterson is a force to be reckoned with. Her interpretations of classic folk songs have a raw, emotional power that can bring even the toughest critic to their knees. But Waterson is more than just a singer - she's a storyteller, a historian, and a beacon of authenticity in a music industry dominated by smoke and mirrors. Her latest album, "Bright Shiny Morning," is a testament to her enduring talent and passion for the craft. Listening to Waterson is like taking a journey through time, with each note carrying the weight of centuries of tradition. Whether she's singing a haunting ballad or a rousing sea shanty, her voice has a way of cutting straight to the heart. So next time you're in the mood for some real, honest-to-goodness folk music, look no further than Norma Waterson. She may not have the flashy Instagram presence of today's pop stars, but her music speaks for itself - and that's all that matters in the end.
