GUEST,North Country Primitive Topic Records new release: Sorrow Songs (3) RE: Topic Records new release: Sorrow Songs 26 Oct 22


This is such a great & powerful album and I really recommend it to anyone who likes contemporary songs written and arranged in style reflective of traditional English folk. Angeline’s songwriting is fantastic (especially on tracks like Mad-haired Moll o’Bedlam), Eliza Carthy’s production is sympathetic and nicely raw, and the playing is spot on. It is weird that, given there have been black people in Britain for centuries, songs from their perspective and reflecting their experience never entered the British folk canon. Apart, possibly, from some of the shanties.
