RaW Folk: Review: Belshazzar's Feast - Find the Lady
http://rawfolkblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/review-belshazzars-feast-find-lady_23.html
Magic, Murder, Sex and Shipwrecks. Saturday, 23 October 2010. Review: Belshazzar's Feast - Find the Lady. It's a busy few months for instrumentalist and singer Paul Sartin of Bellowhead and Belshazzar's Feast - the duo's latest release follows hard upon Hedonism. And two tours follow. Find the Lady. Exhibit their eminence sincerely on an accomplished album of (mostly) traditional music. There is thus much to muse about even before the interruption of knowingly silly Primus Hornpipe. Such whimsy is later ...

RaW Folk: Review: Bellowhead - Hedonism
http://rawfolkblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/review-bellowhead-hedonism.html
Magic, Murder, Sex and Shipwrecks. Sunday, 10 October 2010. Review: Bellowhead - Hedonism. Delivers trademark theatrics and sense of circus, at times gloriously unchecked but always tightly performed. Spiers, Boden and co. are an ensemble of talent, well ensconced in their respective roles and playing with a zing in their step. Which swaps between frantic, Pogues-esque self-destructing revelry and barbershop lullaby, Hedonism is a honed record that, for the most part, doesn't depart from tested Bellowhea...

Magic, Murder, Sex and Shipwrecks. Saturday, 30 October 2010. Review: Martyn Joseph - Under Lemonade Skies. Martyn wants to move heaven and earth. Declares the biography on martynjoseph.com. Before noting such critical acclaim as to ' make any publicist purr with pleasure. Fortunate then that Martyn considers such praise only in an ' almost incidental kind of way. Because, almost incidentally, I'm about to add to it. And an anthem for last month's Ryder Cup. Before Joseph heads heavenward on track three&...

RaW Folk: 10 from '10
http://rawfolkblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/10-from-10.html
Magic, Murder, Sex and Shipwrecks. Friday, 31 December 2010. This is most definitely not an albums-of-the-year thing, as no-one's asked and I'm not quite. Plus, given that it seems to be illegal not to rate The National's grandiose and shimmering High Violet. Top, there wouldn't be much point. Nevertheless here are ten records not reviewed on this blog that I'd suggest seeking out - if not before midnight then ASAP next year. Delivers catchy and captivating songs. Beach House - Teen Dream. Factory was an...

RaW Folk: Review: Kate Rusby - Make the Light
http://rawfolkblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/review-kate-rusby-make-light.html
Magic, Murder, Sex and Shipwrecks. Sunday, 12 December 2010. Review: Kate Rusby - Make the Light. On prime time BBC1? This reservation notwithstanding, Make the Light. Is a little bit frustrating. For the first time, the album omits to include any traditional material, crediting Jam and Jerusalem. Scribe Jennifer Saunders for this ' good plan! However, chirpy first track The Wishing Wife. A case in point, and cousin to Awkward Annie. S eponymous opener - is one of the highlights, alongside Walk the Road.
