Our Take

Eliza Carthy & Norma Waterson are the dynamic mother-daughter duo that just keep on giving with their latest album, 'Gift'. Filled to the brim with folk gems and soul-stirring harmonies, this album is a true testament to the power of family in music.

From the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" to the infectious energy of "Billy Boy", Eliza and Norma effortlessly blend tradition with modernity, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. Their voices intertwine with a natural ease, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and everything in between.

The production on 'Gift' is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in perfect balance. The fiddle and accordion dance around each other in lively reels, while the acoustic guitar provides a solid backbone for the vocal melodies to soar. It's clear that Eliza and Norma have honed their craft over the years, creating a seamless musical tapestry that is as comforting as a warm cup of tea on a rainy day.

Overall, 'Gift' is a delightful offering from two of folk music's finest. It's a joyous celebration of tradition, family, and the power of music to bring people together. So sit back, pour yourself a pint of ale, and let Eliza and Norma serenade you with their beautiful melodies. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
