Vic ,no problem.
here is a more recent review.
which is an example of good reviewing
SARA GREY Sandy Boys.fellside fecd225.
This is her best cd yet. Here we have 15 tracks of songs and tunes from the USA sung and played by Sara joined by her son Kieron Means on guitar and Ben Paley on fiddle and the mouth harp of Mike Whellans.The CD starts with an up beat song Sandy Boys which uses a traditional fiddle tune from Virginia and has a set of words put to it by Sara.
The Goodnight loving trail written by Utah Philips is a gentle and poignant song about growing old.I have always thought that family members' voices blend in a particularly harmonious way and this certainly applies to Sara and Kieron.
Just listen to the unaccompanied East Virginia Blues from Cas Wallins or Resurrection Day where two voices are joined by a lone fiddle accompaniment.My favourite song is Old Paint, a song collected by AlanLomax, Sara sings it solo accompanied only by banjo, it has a complex rhythm that seems to vary with each verse.I could listen to it all day it is mesmerising.
I could end up listing every song on the cd each has something wonderful to offer,but why not go out and buy the CD , There are Child ballads, broadsides fiddle and banjo tunes and songs written by SiKahn.There is something for all here.
This cd comes with Saras wonderfully erudite and informative sleeve notes which give many an anecdote about the sources and collectors of the songs .Highly recommended.Mary Humphreys FEB 2010 Mardles
