Halfvalue.co.uk Review
A succession of plaudit-harvesting folk albums and
subsequent international renown means that Yorkshire's Kate
Rusby no longer needs to be nurtured with kind words of
condescension along the lines of lass, babe and starlet, and
yet there remains something irredeemably youthful about
The Girl Who...

Halfvalue.co.uk Review
There's not a single dud in the trilogy of albums that
singer/songwriter Nick Drake released during his
all-too-short career. And 1968's Five Leaves Left--his
first album--is certainly no exception. Drake's sensitive
guitar work and sensitive vocals are backed by the baroque
sounds of a chamber...

Indie-folk singer Chan Marshall has a reputation for onstage
unpredictability, but some erratic (read: often drunken)
live performances won’t have prepared you for the
full-bodied beast that is The Greatest. Recorded with

The Mamas and the Papas blazed across the '60s folk-rock
scene, scoring nine Top 40 hits in less than two years. So
bright was their brief run that it earned them a berth in
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This set shows at least some
of the reason why--there's the era-defining hit

From the first blanket of choral voices awash in reverb,
Amarantine is instantly recognizable as a product of
Enya, the Irish chanteuse who has created a genre unto
herself. Although it's been five years since her last CD, on
Amarantine it's as if time stood still. The
triumvirate of Enya, lyricist...

Joni Mitchell would go on from this 1971 recording to make
more popular, more ambitious and more challenging albums,
but she's never made a better one. Working with minimal
accompaniment (Stephen
Stills and
James Taylor are two of the four sidemen), the Canadian
songbird summoned an involving song...

Songbird cherry-picks tracks from the three locally

vocals went virtually unheard outside her native Washington,
D.C., during her short 33 years with us. Lost to melanoma in
1996, Cassidy sang with an unaffected purity and an

It's thrilling--in any language--to hear new music from
Colombian superstar Shakira. And it's been a long time
coming. Shakira's English crossover opus,
Laundry Service, was released in 2001. The Spanish
Donde Estan Los Ladrones came three years before
that. Fijacion Oral, Volumen 1 is the first of...
