Vivien EllisThe Dawn Songs (Beautiful Jo) $17.99
The record label says: Sumptuously produced, the album encompasses the English tradition, Brazilian samba; Appalachian spiritual; troubadour song in Occitan; Irish, Scots/Gaelic and Bulgarian folk music, as well as new dawn songs by contemporary writers. With instrumentation that includes fiddle, accordion, guitars, drums and electric bass – lute and viol, loops and effects – this is a richly varied album that embraces both the spare beauty of ancient song and full-on 21st century soundscapes.

'Most often associated with early music (and its crossover with the tradition), here Vivien Ellis follows a theme – lovers meeting and parting at first light – wherever in music it takes her, entirely at home in every style she tackles… A thoroughly modern song, As the Dawn Breaks, by Andy Duerden, should go on the Radio 2 playlist forthwith. No qualms in recommending this CD. The sources are eclectic, the arrangements fit the songs like a glove and Vivien can put over everything she sings with conviction.' - fROOTS

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
