Various Artists - A Woman's Voice: First Person Singular

From the lyrical to the triumphant, from contemporary arrangements to raw unaccompanied ballads, this powerful 17 track collection brings together a dazzling array of musical styles and approaches. Love, abandonment, defiance, resignation, the joys of home and the wildness of wandering. The songs were written in the first person, from a woman's point of view, sung by women whose voices have helped define the music that we call "folk". Features Julie Murphy, Lal Waterson, Maddy Prior, June Tabor, Charlotte Greig, Eddi Reader, Kathryn Williams, Eliza Carthy, Shirley Collins, Norma Waterson, Cilla Fisher & others.
