Post Description

Deze had ik even gemist. Mooi document van een naadloze samenwerking.

The majesty and control of June’s voice combine with the passion of John Jones’ singing and the dynamic drive of Oysterband to illuminate dark traditional ballads and contemporary classics alike – witness their moving duet version of Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, widely regarded as the best-ever reinterpretation of that much-covered track. Songs from their seminal 1990 album ‘Freedom & Rain’ and their multi-award-winning 2011 follow-up ‘Ragged Kingdom’ will of course be featured, plus exciting new material.
 
"False True Love" is basically the opening dialogue of the Child ballad "Young Hunting";[70] June Tabor sang a version under the title "Bird in a Cage" (included on Folk Roots magazine's 1987 anthology "Square Roots"). "Molly Bond" is an Oysterband crowd pleaser since the mid 1980's. It dates back to the late 18th/early 19th century and is usually called "Polly Vaughn" or "Molly Bawn". Bert Lloyd has recorded a version as early as 1951. Climbing up the timeline, they selected some classic songs from recent times: Bill Staines' country crooner "Roseville Fair", Percy Sledge's soul ballad "Dark End Of The Street", Jefferson Airplane's psychedelic rock song "White Rabbit", and, of course, their haunting take on Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". That's a lot of input, and in addition you get June Tabor's sublime and gloomy vocals taken into another dimension by the Oysterband's lively grooves.
