The Songs Of Lal Waterson

Honest Jon's Records

‘Keeps alive the thoughtful, rebellious, radical Englishness found in the best folk music… Nineteen different voices from different decades, countries, traditions and concerns, but the solitary, alienated quality of Waterson’s bleak, fearless songs ensures a mesmerising consistency. Buy this as your folk album of the year, not least because the music seems so contemporary and timeless that it could easily get away with not being called folk’ (The Observer).
