Product Description
From Amazon.com
Rusby's fifth solo recording, like previous efforts, boasts a well-crafted selection of original compositions and ancient ballads. While she has rightly been praised for the sheer beauty of her voice--which has never sounded better than on these dozen tracks--her greatest gift may be her ability to choose traditional songs and rework them in subtle and imaginative new ways. She's not afraid to add new words and compose her own melodies to melancholy odes to lost love like "Let Me Be" and "Cruel," which fairly trade emotional intensity for authenticity. Rusby is helped out musically by her husband, Scottish fiddler John McCusker, who produced the CD and helped ensure that every note played by the guitars, citterns, accordions, and flutes is perfectly placed to accent the vocals. Underneath the Stars is not a departure from Rusby's previous work; rather it is a refinement of what she has done before. --Michael John Simmons

stars shine bright,
By solo (montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underneath The Stars (Audio CD)
For those who believe that trad folk shouldn't sound or smell like mouldy tofu, Kate Rusby is IT! She's a magician at adapting old ballads to suit new tastes and sings like an angel. A great backing band to boot. I laughed, I cried. Don't miss it!!

Folk at its best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Underneath The Stars (Audio CD)
Rarely can one find a CD where they like ALL of the songs. I'm pretty new to the folk music world, but Kate's music is a delightful blend of upbeat melodies and whimsical storytelling. I have bought several of her CDs and now consider her my favorite musician. I plan on traveling to England this year to see one of her shows. Her beautiful voice and Welsh accent combine for the lovliest songs I've ever heard. Please tour in the U.S., Kate! You have many fans here.

Kate Rusby can take you to your "happy place",
By A fan in Alaska. (Cordova, AK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underneath The Stars (Audio CD)
If you are not familiar with Kate Rusby, do yourself a favor and purchase this CD...or get it for a loved one. Kate has one of the most beautiful voices on the planet, and she is joined by tasteful and creative accoustic musicians. Each arrangement is unique and enjoyable, and there is a continuity of flow and emotion. I like a CD that does not jump around in mood and ambience; you can settle into this one and enjoy the variety of finesse, without being rudly jolted into another space. The lyrics tell interesting tales from another time. I love the harmony singing on "Cruel"; I would have preferred more vocal harmonies, but Kate's voice is so pure and fulfilling and the instrumentation is so interesting that the sound is still delightful.I love giving Kate Rusby's music to friends...what a privalege to share such a gift...what a discovery for people who are primarily exposed to commercial "pop" music. "Underneath the Stars" is one of my favorite Kate Rusby CDs, and I have enjoyed them all immensely!
