Binding : Audio CDEAN : 0805520212571Label : ProperManufacturer : ProperPublisher : ProperRelease date : 2008-04-07Title : That's Proper FolkOriginal release date : 2008-01-01Studio : ProperNumber of discs : 1 Bought this because it was a suggested item based on other purchases. Nice and cheap, very prompt delivery, and there are some tracks I really like, having never heard any of them before.
For the price the quality of this compilation is hard to beat. Not every song is a classic, but the sheer energy of, say, Bellowhead in concert (in a track otherwise only available on DVD) contrasts wonderfully with the poignant beauty of Katrine Polwart's voice. The disc led me to explore the fuller works of some of those represented here, which is of course the point of any sampler. So, mission accomplished.
All that needs to be said, is WOW! I'm a fan of a couple of the artists on this compliation and am very impressed by the rest of the songs selected. If you want to hear the best of folk, then this compilation certainly comes close to delivering that. A must for any fan of music.
To be fair I am not really a folk fan but thought this might be a good introduction. However I found the music so aweful my son and I started laughing the first time we heard it.
There are some fantastic artists here to open your eyes to new 'folk' frontiers. Great value for money - but of course the catch is that you will probably want to buy at least one full value CD by one of the folks here.
