Our Take

Waterson/Carthy's self-titled album is a delightful romp through traditional folk music that will have you tapping your toes and singing along in no time. With their signature blend of haunting vocals and expertly crafted instrumentation, this dynamic duo brings a fresh and modern twist to timeless classics.

From the foot-stomping rhythms of "The Young Horseman" to the melancholic beauty of "Farewell, Farewell," Waterson/Carthy effortlessly weaves together a tapestry of sounds that is sure to captivate even the most discerning listener. The haunting harmonies between Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy are truly a match made in musical heaven, with each track showcasing their undeniable chemistry and artistry.

But don't be fooled by the album's traditional roots - Waterson/Carthy is anything but old-fashioned. Tracks like "Red Wine Promises" and "Greenfields" infuse a modern twist into the mix, proving that this duo is more than capable of blending the old with the new.

Overall, Waterson/Carthy's self-titled album is a true testament to the power of folk music and the enduring talent of its performers. With each track, they effortlessly transport listeners to another time and place, leaving them with a deep appreciation for the rich tapestry of sounds that make up the folk tradition. So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be whisked away on a musical journey like no other.
