Midwest Record, Album Review >>
JULIE FOWLIS/Uam: Ok, so grandpa had a thing for Kathy & Carol and all the other earnest, young ladies that flowed in the wake of Judy Collins and Joan Baez when they had their initial break through with traditional music. When last we heard from Fowlis, she graced us with a completely disarming and charming organic date of traditional music that wasn't a throwback but didn't really exist in this time either. This time around, she's been recognized by august personages and peers and has graced us with a set that could usher in a whole new folk music scare on the scale of the original one. It's almost funny to call a program of tradition music right in the moment but as much as this set would make Ewen MacColl smile, Fowlis is charting her own course. You'd have to go back to early Elektra dates to find anything like this, but because of the ‘contemporary' touches, the old dates might not stand up as well in comparison. You want it organic? Get out your water wings because this one sets a high water mark for the genre, new or old. Hot stuff. 02/22/10 >> go there
