Very nice. Never heard of Kate before.

 

[Al H]

a great singer
ive got most of her albums

there is some decent stuff on the folk scene

 

[Bechet]

Cannot stand the tremalo or vibrato she - and many other singers - use to excess instead of singing a pure note. I notice a lot of Scots do it in their party piece songs, Callas used to do it so many opera singers followed suit. I cannot stand it!

To me it says that the singer can't hold a note but I'm convinced they do it for reasons beyond my comprehension and meanwhile it just annoys the shit outta me!

Does anyone know what it is about?

 

[Al H]

i dont know but i watched her at the cambridge folk festival and she can carry a tune

 

[Bechet]

Yeah, not arguing that, Al!! Just I fail to get the wavering notes she does so often - in the track this post is about, anyway. I don't know her other stuff.

Maria Callas did it in the high registers, leading me to believe she couldn't get there straight - and keeping me away from opera during her entire reign. They sing it clean nowadays and I love it, love it, love it.

 

[Al H]

it could be worse, you could be sucidal now that jason orange has left take that

 

[Bechet]

Never heard of Jason Orange but have heard of Take That. I think it is/was a Boy Band? Along with B&M stores, there are many things I'm glad I don't know about.

So yeah! I feel very suicidal about that - I bet you can tell.
