"Cilla & Artie" is a great CD and was, in fact, "The Melody Maker Folk Album of the Year - 1979". Joining Cilla and Artie is an international collection of "session" musicians including Alistair Anderson, Johny & Phil Cunningham, Rick Lee, Brian McNeill and Bob Zentz. The songs are mostly from the tradition with, "Blue Bleezin' Blind Drunk" and "The Gypsy Laddies" but also include a grand version of Stan Rodgers' "The Jeanie C" and the wildest ever arrangement of Ewan MacColl's "Fisher Lassies".
Customer Reviews
Calling the Kettle.. Sally Nixon
They may be best known for their children's shows now, but this album fairly sizzles with tight harmonies and polished singing. Lots of energy and drive...and great songs
