Our Take
It's been said that folk music is the glue that holds us all together, and that sentiment definitely rings true on Waterson:Carthy's latest offering, "Common Tongue". This trio of seasoned pros, made up of Martin Carthy, Norma Waterson, and their daughter Eliza Carthy, have been the reigning monarchs of the folk scene for decades, and this album only solidifies their legendary status. From the pulsing rhythms of "Time to Ring Some Changes" to the haunting beauty of "The Great Flood", every track on "Common Tongue" is a testament to the trio's masterful musicianship and ability to transport listeners to another time and place. The intricate interplay between Martin's impeccable guitar work, Norma's emotive vocals, and Eliza's lively fiddle playing creates a sonic tapestry that is as rich and vibrant as the English countryside. But it's not just the music that stands out on this album – the lyrics are equally captivating, with themes of love, loss, and resilience woven throughout. Whether they're singing about the hardships of life or the joys of love, Waterson:Carthy have a way of making you feel like you're sitting by the fireside with old friends, sharing stories and songs long into the night. So if you're in need of a musical escape from the daily grind, look no further than "Common Tongue". It's a timeless masterpiece that will have you tapping your toes and singing along in no time. Trust us, you won't be able to get enough of Waterson:Carthy's enchanting sound. So grab a pint, kick back, and let the music wash over you – you won't regret it.
