Thread Name: Jackie Oates new album
Subject: RE: Jackie Oates new album
From a website sponsored by John Lewis and, like the store, a tad dated, being a review of Jackie's first solo album.
(Think I'll look for one of Beam and post that).
The reviewer is well into the spirit of wild speculation though:
'her voice is reminiscent at times of Kate Rusby' Eh? How? And:
'carrying on from where Shirley left off' which will come as some surprise to Ms Collins who hasn't 'left off' anything yet.
Though let's be charitable.
These were probably the only two other female singers he'd heard of.
Which would explain why he didn't know Broken Town is a Helen Bell composition.
