Il terzo album della folk band di Allison Russell e Trish Klein (ex Be Good Tanyas) conferma la vena folk poetica della band ed aggiunge una manciata di canzoni emotivamente coinvolgenti.
Il classico di Arlo Guthrie.
Terzo album fatto assieme per Kieran Kane e Rayna Gellert. The Flowers That Bloom In Spring, è un disco minimalista, legato al folk più profondo. Registrato in uno sperduto casolare, il disco mischia i suoni della natura alle loro melodie. Seguendo le tracce di Woody Guthrie, ma anche dei New Lost City Ramblers, si ispirano al repertorio delle string band tradizionali e dei sonwriters folk di un tempo. Kane e Gellert adattano antichi motivi per violino, interpretano canzoni composte in coppia e rileggono vecchi standard come il classico country Please Help Me, I’m Falling (reso popolare da Hank Locklin),. La loro musica, personale ed intima, trasmette un senso di pace.
Ristampa del disco del 1984.
A radio-ballad is a sound tapestry woven of four basic elements: songs, instrumental music, sound effects, and the recorded voices of those with whose lives each programme deals. The radio-ballads were a joint creation by Ewan MacColl, Charles Parker and Peggy Seeger. These programmes were revolutionary at the time, using as they did the actual spoken words of the 'informants'. Up until this time, this 'actuality' (as the trio dubbed it) was transcribed and then interpreted by trained radio speakers. The radio-ballads led you effortlessly from song to music to sound effect to the spoken word and back again, revealing the effort of a way of life upon those who lead it. They are entertaining, informative, musical, poetic and educational. There were eight radio-ballads, created between 1957 and 1964. They are now reissued for the first time on CD by Topic.
The Fight Game was originally released in 1967.
Compiled from the albums: "The Commonwealth Suite" and "Live in the Cathedral"
