June Tabor - The Water is Wide

Uploaded by: DarkerThanBlue
Video Description:
I googled this & decided that I couldn't say it better....
June Tabor is probably the finest female traditional British folksinger of the late 20th century -- if not the best British folksinger of her time, period. What links her to Britain's past traditions is the chilling and emotional qualities of her voice. What links her to the British present is her
fine taste in material, arrangements, and backing musicians, along with a willingness to try different things and interpret work by contemporary songwriters. Tabor's first high-profile project was a duet album with Steeleye Span's Maddy Prior in the 1970s (the duo dubbed themselves the Silly Siste
rs for the occasion). An all-star cast of some of the leading lights of the British folk scene supported the singers, including Martin Carthy, Nic Jones, and Andy Irvine. For her own albums and tours she has worked with outstanding guitarists, most notably Jones and Martin Simpson. She's also tread
into folk-rock waters with Fairport Convention (with whom she's guested on-stage) and Oysterband (with whom she collaborated on a 1990 album). Her 1994 album Against the Streams found her still at her peak, interpreting both traditional tunes and efforts by modern-day composers, including Elvis Cost
ello and Richard Thompson. Subsequent efforts include 1996's Singing the Storm, 1997's Aleyn, and 2000's Quiet Eye. Rosa Mundi appeared in 2001 from Green Linnet, with 2003's Echo of Hooves, 2005's At the Wood's Heart, and 2007's Apples following from Topic Records. ~ (Richie Unterberger, All Music
