Customer Reviews of On Reflection
Good tunes played by good musicians. Eliza Carthy and Nancy Kerr made two albums together before going on to other things. Carthy on to a solo career and international super-stardom (or at least what passes as international super-stardom when you're a fiddle-playing, traditional English folkie) and Kerr on to something a little less high-profile but no less productive.
"On Reflection" cherry-picks the highlights from those two albums, and adds a handful of rarities for good measure.
Tracks such as Kerr's solo "Dance to Your Daddy", recorded in 2001, and Carthy's self-penned "Fen" from around the same time, show just how far both women have progressed as artists since parting company.
But the ten tracks here that were recorded as a duo in the early nineties possess a raw, and somewhat precocious charm of their own. Their voices are pleasant together. Kerr's is light, pretty but authentic. Carthy's is rougher and darker. They are, if you will, the McCartney and Lennon of the current folk music scene.
Likewise their fiddle-playing works well together. Kerr's is the more accomplished, but Carthy's - even at this young age - is far from rudimentary. They play against each other quite appealingly.
The song selection is exemplary. "Waterloo Fair", "Keek in the Creel" and "Bonnie Light Horseman" being particular favourites with me.
There's little chance of an album like this having any appeal beyond those already converted to the cause of traditional music. For that, you would probably need to seek out one of Carthy's later solo CDs.
But within its field it is pretty much as perfect as you could wish for and at around 75 minutes represents good value for money too.
Very good tunes played by very good musicians who clearly enjoy what they're doing as much as their audience. You can't feasibly ask for much more now can you?
