Eliza Carthy, Red Topic Records TSCD493 (CD, UK, 1998)
A superb album, arguably one of the best by this performer of British folk music. Perhaps thanks to the musicians who surround her, Olly Knight on electric guitar in the first place, you can listen to the disc with pleasure. Superb traditional arranged version of "Billy Boy". The cover photographs are as always by Tom Howard. The producer and sound engineer, this time, is Niall Macauley. Barnaby Stradling works closely with the arrangements on tracks 3, 6a, 7a, 7c, 9.
Superbo album, forse uno dei migliori di questa interprete del folk britannico. Forse anche grazie ai musicisti che la circondano, Olly Knight alla chitarra elettrica in primis, il disco si lascia ascoltare con piacere. Stupenda la versione trad. arr. di "Billy Boy". Le fotografie di copertina sono come sempre di Tom Howard. Il produttore, nonché ingegnere del suono, è in questo caso Niall Macauley. Barnabi Stradling collabora attivamente agli arrangiamenti delle tracce 3, 6a, 7a, 7c, 9.
