Synopsis

Album Details

Over a Remarkable Career Spanning Over Four Decades, Maddy Prior Mbe Has Become Widely Recognised as the Voice of English Folk Music. An Unsurpassed Interpreter of Traditional Song. A Lot Can Happen in Ten Years. It was Ten Years Ago that Maddy Prior Released her First "Best Of": 1995's Memento, a Collection of her Early Solo Work. Given the Rate of Maddy's Output of Recorded Work, a New Release More Or Less Every Year, Prior's Collection Such as this is Long Overdue.

CD Reviews

An Excellent Album By The Lady With The Voice Of An Angel!!!

John Baranyai | 10/01/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Steeleye Span would have to be one of my favourite bands and their ex lead singer has had a very successful career spanning four decades. Her voice is still as pure and clear as a mountain Spring and she is a delight to listen too. My favourite track on this album would have to be "Maman" which combines the acoustic sounds of guitars with a mandolin. Maddy Prior is one classy singer and I do find it a real shame that she does not enjoy the same popularity as "The Singing Budgerigar" Kylie Minogue.I have the distinct feeling that Ms. Minogue's singing career won't last 40 years."
