Our Take
Waterson:Carthy's "Fishes and Fine Yellow Sand" is a delightful concoction of folk tunes and storytelling that will have you bopping along in no time. The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "Rubber Band," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the record with its catchy hooks and infectious energy. Throughout the album, Waterson:Carthy effortlessly weaves together tales of love, loss, and everything in between, all set to a backdrop of lush instrumentation and soaring harmonies. Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Shallow Brown" and the rollicking "Halfway to Heaven," both of which showcase the group's impeccable musicianship and knack for crafting memorable melodies. Lead vocalist Norma Waterson's rich, emotive voice is truly the heart and soul of the album, drawing listeners in with its raw power and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Martin Carthy's intricate guitar work and Eliza Carthy's dynamic fiddling add depth and complexity to the band's sound, creating a sonic tapestry that is as captivating as it is diverse. Overall, "Fishes and Fine Yellow Sand" is a must-listen for folk music fans and casual listeners alike. Whether you're looking for a soundtrack to your next road trip or a cozy night in, this album has a little something for everyone. So grab your headphones, press play, and let Waterson:Carthy take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
