07 Nov 01 - 08:51 PM (#587921) Subject: 'New' Copper CD: Trad Lovers Alert From: dick greenhaus The Copper Family has got to be the seminal English harmony group. For too many years, there's been a paucity of Copper recordings: Folk-Legacy has a cassette, and there are Coppersongs2 and Coppersongs3, CDs featuring Bob Copper and the latest generation of Coppers. Topic has just released (re-released) a remastered CD of the Copper Family of the 50's and 60s. Here's the track list: THE COPPER FAMILY COME WRITE ME DOWN 1 Spencer The Rover [Bob & Ron] 2 Good Ale [Bob & Ron] 3 Thousands Or More [Jim] 4 Babes In The Wood [Bob & Ron] 5 The Banks Of The Sweet Primroses [Bob, John, Jim & Ron] 6 Sweep! Chimney Sweep! [Bob & Jim] 7 Two Young Brethren [Bob & Ron] 8 The Brisk and Bonny Lad [Bob & Jim] 9 The Month Of May [Bob & Ron] 10 The Honest Labourer [Ron] 11 The Birds In The Spring [Bob & Ron] 12 My Father Had An Acre Of Land [Jim & Bob] 13 Shepherd Of The Downs [Bob & Ron] 14 The Threshing Song [Ron & Bob] 15 The Seasons Round [Bob & Ron] 16 Sportsmen, Arouse! [Jim] 17 Hard Times Of Old England [Ron] 18 The Lark In The Morning [Bob & Ron] 19 Warlike Seamen [Bob, John, Jim & Ron] 20 When Spring Comes In [Bob & Ron] 21 The Brisk Young Ploughboy [Bob & Jim] 22 Cupid's Garden [Bob & Ron] 23 Dame Durden [Bob & Ron] 24 The Claudy Banks [Bob & Jim] 25 General Wolfe [Jim] 26 Adieu, Sweet Lovely Nancy [Bob & Jim] 27 Talking [Jim] 28 Come Write Me Down, Ye Powers Above [Bob, John, Jim & Ron] ...and if that doen't get lovers of British trad salivating, nothing will. Oh yes. Available from CAMSCO music (800/548-FOLK or 3655). $18 (US) |

The Copper Family are central figures in English Folk Song and were strangely absent from the Topic Voice of the People CDs. This should make up for that omission, and delight all lovers of traditional singing. |

No doubt about it, this has to be one of the 'must have' releases of the year. |
