Product Description
Product Description
2007 sophomore release from the Folk/Rock outfit. It follows the incredible success of The Cruel Sister, which was Mojo Magazine's "Folk Album of the Year" in 2005 and announced the arrival of a major new force in the Folk scene. Like so many other Folk artists, the group have moved way beyond the traditional boundaries of the Folk circuit, drawing their audiences from across the spectrum of music lovers. Like Seth Lakeman, they tour constantly and create traditional (and traditionally inspired) music that appeals to both the died-in-the-wool (arran, of course!) Folk fans and to a much younger fanbase. In this light, their covers of songs by Bonnie Prince Billy and Robert Wyatt don't seem out of place in the least. Rachel and her band play Folk that is both traditional and traditionally-inspired, appealing to Folk and singer/songwriter fans across the board. 15 tracks. EMI.

Rachel, friends and relations are to Northumbrian folk as jazz is to its classics. While respecting the tradition, they come up with brand new interpretations which shed new light on the originals. I will listen to it over and over again.

Absolutely haunting
May 9 2008
By Abbey Jane
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The Unthank sisters have an uncanny knack for reaching and holding notes that will literally serach through the depths of your soul. A beautiful accompaniment of violin and piano make this album ideal for winter listening, as the the dark sounds and songs of Northern England are filled with equal, perfectly juxtaposed parts melancholy and joy.

More genius from Northumberland

I will continue to gush about this group and the 2 Unthanks sisters. The two finest english vocalists since Sandy Denny and Anne Briggs. If you don't own all their records you must have a sad life or no taste in music. Make them wealthy, they deserve it. Stop listening to all the crap out there and get this.
