Description
A great new acoustic album of 'nu-folk' songs recorded as live performances and featuring the violin of Fairport Convention's Ric Sanders.
'English Tale', which comfortably falls in to the 'nu-folk' category, is an album of songs written by Catherine Howe with additions from the pen of Vo Fletcher. This album is a live performance of Howe's distinctively pure voice and Fletcher's fine guitar playing, and features Ric Sander's violin. Vocal harmonies are added to the basic tracks to create a lovely album quintessential English in character. Spontaneity and delight in melody are key notes to this collection of twelve songs and three instrumental pieces. A 21st century version of Catherine's 1970s Ivor Novello winner, Harry, also appears.
Tracks; 1. In The Blue / 2. Thoughts on Thomas Hardy / 3. Lucy Snowe / 4. Slip Away / 5. Nothing Love Does Surprises Me / 6. All The Love You Need / 7. Where The White Rose Meets The Red / 8.
