Then again, she also easily convinces on the Kate Bush-like eccentricity of the liltingly spooky вЂњwhale songвЂќ 52 Hertz, whereas altogether different extremes of expression are represented by the tender (if perhaps very slightly torchy) entreaties of the reassuring homily A Song To Live By and the angry, pithy tirade Down, Dog! she also charms delicately on the intimate finale Soft The Morning Sun and winningly seduces us in the guise of the mermaid-protagonist Rusalka. Her dynamic rendition of the discвЂ™s title track, a protest song of doom-laden Thompsonesque demeanour, provides but one instance of her keen control of passionate nuance, while at the same time she can rock up the tradition in the dark balladry stakes with the best of them, as the driven opening salvo Child Owlet so powerfully demonstrates, and bring a Poozie-like coquettishness to the tripping The Banishing Book (based on a Thomas DвЂ™Urfey вЂњsong of wit and mirthвЂќ) and a Steeleye-tensile strength to the building of the traditional tale of The RobberвЂ™s Bridegroom. Though sheвЂ™s always been regarded as one of the most outstanding (and versatile) vocal talents of her generation, Kathryn has, since her lengthy family-raising sabbatical in particular, matured into an even more special singer. Here, the enduring couple Kathryn and Sean follow up their fine 2012 comeback album Hidden People in true style with the memorably titled Tomorrow Will Follow Today, whose ten tracks constitute a singularly bold and enterprising mix of folk stylings in accomplished and vital performances where the intense commitment from this husband-and-wife team is often overwhelming. This one narrowly missed the deadline for last issue, but itвЂ™s now better late than never for a CD whose top quality just canвЂ™t be ignored. Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman вЂ“ TOMORROW WILL FOLLOW TODAY (I-Scream ISCD14) So far so good but sadly, on the evidence of a fair few plays and with increasingly limited time available for deeper acquaintance nowadays, there seems little here beyond an вЂњattractive and undemandingвЂќ initial reaction itвЂ™s not a bad album, not by any means, but in all honesty there are plenty more distinguished records on the market. Instrumentation is on the rootsy side of folk, in other words two guitars, bass and fiddle/banjo/mando with some added percussion. Nevertheless, this 33-minute collection contains energy aplenty, especially in the rough-tinged passion of lead singer Ross Darby and in the instrumental playing, although in the final analysis the writing, though efficient, doesnвЂ™t tend to measure up to that level (all ten tracks are group compositions). The Fallows is a four-piece Coventry-based folk (-ish) band with pronounced pop sensibilities, whose rhythmic acoustic-based sound best approximates a slightly Americana-tinted version of the kind of summery jangle weвЂ™d associate with bands like Fleet Foxes and the Kennedys (although they rather lack the distinction of either), with shades of DexyвЂ™s (on Annecy) or the more accessible side of Bob Dylan.
