Product Description
From Amazon.com
Originally released in the U.K. in 1995, this album captures the duo just after they'd won the prestigious Young Tradition folk award. They bring a freshness and fire to the mostly traditional, familiar songs, which is no mean feat, Roberts's sweetness tempering Rusby's roughness well. It's Kate Rusby who emerges as the more distinctive voice here. Her version of "Recruited Collier" is a joy, and, both solo and with the Poozies, her star continues to rise, while Roberts has settled for less. The knowledge of what's happened since doesn't lessen the enjoyment of this record, however. If anything, this glimpse into the past shows two people laying a solid foundation for the future, and when you consider they were only 20, it's a remarkable achievement of youth. --Chris Nickson

I Love This CD; I love these voices!,
By
This review is from: Kate Rusby & Katherine Roberts (Audio CD)
I bought this CD a year ago, and I am continually entranced with the voice quality of these two singers. "Ned on the Hill" is so beautiful, it stands equal in my view to Jean Redpath's version, which first aquainted me with the song. "The Lorry Ride" is one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard. I can feel the lonely woman's anguish, as she waits to see if her man will return from his harsh work on the plantation, or if se will find only a body when the lorry returns him to her. I would rate this as one of my all time faves in Celtic music.

Kate Rusby & Kathryn Roberts sound like magic,

This review is from: Kate Rusby & Katherine Roberts (Audio CD)
I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of female vocalists, nor am I a Celtic music buff. However I've never heard two women sing together like these two. It's a sound that caresses and squeezes your heart all at the same time... The sound makes me feel like I want to cry from the saddest and most warm embrace.

Real music,
This review is from: Kate Rusby & Katherine Roberts (Audio CD)
The two ladies present a lovely group of songs, sung in breathtakingly beautiful voices. This is the music of the Scots' parlor, mainly voice and piano, easy to listen to but far from easy listening. By the way, Kate Rusby is person is a singing Gracie Allen: an absolutely crazy young woman!
