Our Take

Norma Waterson's latest album "Bright Shiny Morning" is a delightful mix of folk tunes that will have you tapping your foot in no time. With her signature haunting vocals and expert storytelling, Waterson effortlessly transports listeners to another world.

The album opens with the upbeat track "Sunshine on Leith," a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Waterson's voice shines on tracks like "The Swallow," where her emotional delivery leaves a lasting impact on the listener.

One of the standout moments on the album is the haunting ballad "Black Muddy River," where Waterson's voice soars over a sparse arrangement, pulling at the heartstrings of even the most hardened music critic. The songwriting on this track is simply sublime, capturing the pain and longing of lost love.

Overall, "Bright Shiny Morning" is a triumph for Norma Waterson, showcasing her immense talent and ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music and compelling storytelling. Trust me, you won't regret giving this record a spin.

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.
