5.0�toiles sur 5 A classic recording, Jui 14 2005

Par	R. Myhr (Ashburn, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Silly Sisters (Audio CD)

I think it was in the year-end edition of Rolling Stone, in 1976, that I read a review of this album -- not in the regular review section, but in an editorial by Jann Wenner. He identified Silly Sisters, and Chirpin' by the Persuasions, as classics, true, honest and destined to last forever. He was right on all counts for both recordings, but I listen to Silly Sisters far more often these days.

This is a sublime album, built on the strengths of two masters of British folk, accompanied by a host of other instrumental masters. There are any number of highlights, but among the standouts: "Grey Funnel Line", as gorgeous a dirge as you'll ever hear; Four Loom Weaver, the most beautiful incitation to class warfare you'll ever hear; and "Game of All Fours", a light rolic made hugely attractive with erotic overtones (and undertones and between tones).

For more than thirty years this has been one of my favorite recordings. I have 12000+ songs on my system, and the Silly Sisters collection is still played regularly. Treat yourself, buy the songs.

Par Un client

I've listened to this album for years and it never grows old. The voices--one piercing and clarion, the other dusky and wan--are perfect complements, and the lyrics, smoothed to perfection by the decades, are some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. I also *highly* recommend the Silly Sisters' other album, No More to the Dance.

3.0�toiles sur 5 poky folk, F�v 14 2004

Par	S. Cologgi (Massachusetts, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I find most of the songs on this CD to be fairly dour and poky, except for "Doffin Mistress" and "Geordie", which have become two of my favorite songs of any sort from any era -- in fact, worth the price of the CD to me.
Maybe my reaction comes from listening to my music mostly during an hour-long drive to work: I need drastic help staying awake! Apart from the two songs, this album doesn't keep my eyelids up. Weirdly enough, given how much I love Maddy Prior's voice (and her/Steeleye Span's folkier albums) and how interesting I find June Tabor's voice, I dislike most of their harmonies. I liked Maddy Prior with Gay Woods much better (on Steeleye Span's "Hark the Village Wait") -- in fact, I bought Silly Sisters hoping for harmonies as engaging as those, without all the annoying rock drumming. Well, there are no rock drums on this album, anyway.

I don't know that this is the best folk album ever, but it's certainly very high up in the running. I'd guess that even those who aren't fans of folk music might like this album;... Read more

5.0�toiles sur 5 Wonderful songs and voices.
Maddy Prior and June Tabor clearly had a great deal of fun putting this album together. It's a great collection of traditional, witty, silly, and thought-provoking songs from ages... Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 Great Singing, but what's with the cover photo?
It is all very specific and a bit dour, but it should bring hours of joy to hardcore folkies. June and Maddy's singing is flawless.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Wow.
One of the great UK trad albums... Maddy Prior and June Tabor's voices and musical sensibilities are a perfect match, and the material they chose is also a delight. Read more
