A couple of years ago I started attempting to review all the albums that I owned. I got about four or five in and lost momentum. This year I intend to listen to every CD I own - and if I don't love it I will get rid of it. (read more about my minimalism project here) I am going to do mini reviews of the albums as I go.
Hello Love by The Be Good Tanyas (2006)
I was introduced to The Be Good Tanyas and Frazey Ford by the sister of my ex partner. Frazey has a unique singing style which is not everyone's cup of tea, but I really like it. She almost slurs her words at times and it is sometimes hard to make out the lyrics. This could be in part due to her accent but might also be a country/folk style choice.
Probably the most famous track on this album is A Thousand Tiny Pieces but there are a host of great songs on here - including a rather lovely folky cover of Prince's When Doves Cry. I was interested to read on Wikipedia that members of The Old Crow Medicine show are guest players on the album. I have been a fan of Old Crow saw the film Big Easy Express.
This album was a bargain - I picked it up for a pound in a charity shop recently. A pound well spent. Definitely a keeper.
