Our Take
Shirley Collins' The Classic Collection is a delightful trip down memory lane, showcasing the iconic folk singer's timeless talent in all its glory. From the hauntingly beautiful vocals to the intricate arrangements, Collins proves once again why she is considered a legend in the music industry. The album opens with the enchanting "The Foggy Dew," setting the tone for a mesmerizing journey through Collins' musical career. Songs like "Pretty Polly" and "Adieu to Old England" capture the essence of traditional English folk music, while tracks like "Just As the Tide Was Flowing" showcase Collins' ability to breathe new life into old classics. One of the standout moments on the album is Collins' rendition of "The Blacksmith," a haunting ballad that showcases her impeccable storytelling abilities. The emotion in her voice is palpable, drawing the listener in and holding them captive until the final note fades away. Overall, The Classic Collection is a must-have for any folk music enthusiast or fan of Shirley Collins. It is a masterclass in storytelling and musicality, and a testament to Collins' enduring talent. So sit back, relax, and let Shirley Collins take you on a journey through the ages with this timeless collection of classics. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
