Our Take
Our Take
Shirley Collins, the grand dame of British folk music, has returned with her latest offering, "The Sweet Primeroses." This album is a delightful romp through centuries-old ballads and rollicking tunes that will transport you to the English countryside faster than you can say "jolly good show."
From the haunting vocals on "Just as the Tide was Flowing" to the toe-tapping rhythm of "The Irish Girl," Collins shines in her ability to breathe new life into these traditional songs. Her voice, weathered with age and wisdom, carries the weight of history while simultaneously lifting your spirits to the heavens.
The instrumentation on this album is nothing short of breathtaking, with expertly crafted arrangements that perfectly complement Collins' vocals. The gentle plucking of the banjo on "The Bonny Cuckoo" and the mournful strains of the fiddle on "The Sweet Primeroses" create a lush sonic landscape that will have you floating on a cloud of pure auditory bliss.
Overall, "The Sweet Primeroses" is a triumph for Shirley Collins, proving that even after decades in the industry, she still has the magic touch. This album is a testament to the enduring power of traditional folk music and a reminder of the rich tapestry of sounds that make up the British music scene. So grab a cuppa, put on your best tweed waistcoat, and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Shirley Collins. You won't regret it, old chap. Cheers!
