Anchor

Mother and daughter in it together again - a glorious and varied collection of songs - some quite surprising.

Sounds like a family get-together and none the worse for that - the Tom Waits and Eric Idle songs got my first attention but the whole album is a good listen. Good to hear Norma and the family sounding relaxed and hopefully enjoying better health.

Again i prefer Eliza solo. Having said that i have to say. Vocals/ musicianship excellent as usual

Great production,beautifully recorded at Robin Hoods Bay.

Excellent - similar to her earlier items

A lovely album

Really disappointed with this, which is a first for these wonderful people. “Anchor “ isn’t on the CD. No comparison to The Gift.

Anchor is terrific – but then, what else did we expect? Norma and Eliza represent two generations of the very finest in English folk music and they have produced another cracker here.The music is varied, with a good number of traditional songs and some less obvious but extremely successful versions of fine songs by Tom Waits, Nick Lowe and others. As you'd expect from these two, they are respectful to the originals but often very adventurous in their arrangements and treatments. The musicianship and singing is, of course, first rate and it's a very fine album all round.Anyone with an interest in folk music at the moment will know that anything by these two is going to be special (especially after the brilliance of Gift) and won’t need me to recommend an album by these two giants – but I do. It's terrific stuff.
