Kate Rusby - Ten

(October 2002) 15 tracks: The Recruited Collier * I Wish * Over You Now * The Sleepless Sailor * The Fairest of All Yarrow * I Wonder What is Keeping My True Love * Sweet Bride * The Maid of Llanwellyn * The Wild Goose * Sir Eglamore * Night Visiting Song * Cowsong * Botany Bay * Drowned Lovers * Bold Riley.

Ten years of Kate Rusby at the forefront of the UK folk music scene are celebrated in this album. Kate’s instantly identifiable voice has brought many an old song back to life for many people.

This collection from Kate Rusby features four brand new songs, two live numbers and some re-recorded material, including a number of long lost tracks originally recorded with Kathryn Roberts and The Poozies.

She continues in this vein here, with some traditional songs given new slants in the words and tune, and some old tunes given new words. Some completely new songs by Kate, and some with ex-Battlefield Band fiddler John McCusker’s musical touch.
