Our Take

Enter the dynamic duo of Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy, accompanied by the ever-talented Gift Band, ready to rock your socks off with their latest album "Anchor." This album is like a good cuppa tea on a rainy day - comforting, familiar, and just what you need to lift your spirits.

From the opening track "Poor Wayfaring Stranger," you can feel the raw emotion in Waterson and Carthy's voices, intertwining beautifully with the exceptional musicianship of the Gift Band. The harmonies are tighter than a pair of skinny jeans, and the instrumental arrangements are as intricate as a spider's web.

Tracks like "Shores of America" and "Lost River" showcase Waterson and Carthy's ability to transport listeners to another world with their storytelling prowess. You can practically smell the salt water and feel the wind in your hair as you listen.

But don't be fooled by the folk label - this album has grit and edge, with tracks like "The Elfin Knight" and "Little Big Men" packing a punch that will leave you reeling. Waterson and Carthy are not afraid to push boundaries and break molds, and it shows in every note they play.

So if you're looking for an album that will tug at your heartstrings, make you want to dance, and leave you wanting more, look no further than "Anchor" by Norma Waterson & Eliza Carthy with the Gift Band. This is folk music at its finest, and it's not to be missed.
