Ah Jim Carroll-"You could also do worse than listen to:
Eliza Carthy"
Hmmmm - not sure of that.


Do I sense another she's abandoning her roots here regarding "Dreams?" I hope not because Eliza has done this before-with Angels and Cigarettes. What did she follow that one with? Anglicana, and Rough Music, both solid traditional material, and that's not even counting Waterson Carthy, Blue Murder, playing or producing for her mom and dad, etc, etc. If you haven't figured out from the clothes, the hair color, and the piercings, Eliza is Eliza-she's going to do what she wants whether or not you and I like it. In my case, that would be a whole lot. Ok, I only liked about half of Angels & Cigarettes-the one album in her career in which that is the case. I say that comment stands, she is most definitely near the top of the list of a very crowded list that one should start with, whether you think so or not.
