She addresses and tackles real emotion and issues in her songs, at times they’re obviously personal (‘Rivers Run’ was written for her son), but her real skill is in making the emotions universal and making a real connection with the listener. The final track ‘Tongue That Cannot Lie’ is the highlight of the disc, it’s a eight and a half minute track inspired by the legend of 13th Century poet and prophet Thomas The Rhymer – it’s an ambitious song that shows her skill as a writer. ‘This Earthly Spell’ is a well balanced and considered disc, it moves from delicate, light songs through to more challenging pieces, the instrumentation is strong throughout, and everything is held together by Karine’s understated, but exceptional vocals. A superb album, and not to be missed.
Karine Polwart is a fabulous singer song writer. Every C.d. I have enjoyed every one of her c.d.s that I have bought and this one is no different! I shall look forward to purchasing my next one.
