Product description
Shirley Collins, the Queen of English Folk, has returned with her first album in over 38 years, "Lodestar." It's as if she's been frozen in time, only to thaw out in 2016 and gift us with this exquisite collection of haunting melodies and timeless tales. From the opening track, "Awake Awake," Collins effortlessly transports us to a world where troubadours roam the countryside and tales of love and loss echo through the hills. Her voice, weathered by years of life experience, is still as powerful and evocative as ever, drawing us in with each delicate phrase. The album's production is sparse yet rich, allowing Collins' voice and the beautifully arranged instruments to shine through. Each song feels like a lost gem, unearthed and polished to perfection by Collins and her team of talented musicians. Standout tracks include the haunting "Death and the Lady" and the poignant "Pretty Saro," both of which showcase Collins' ability to breathe new life into traditional folk songs. It's clear that she is a master storyteller, weaving intricate narratives that tug at the heartstrings and transport us to a bygone era. "Lodestar" is a triumph for Shirley Collins, a timeless ode to the power of music and the enduring legacy of English folk traditions. It's a reminder that some things never go out of style, and that true talent will always shine through, no matter how long it may be dormant. Welcome back, Shirley, we've missed you.
