Edgy 4th album - take time to listen! Songs on this album are more edgy than Karine's earlier work and take a bit more listening to but are very much worth it. Personal favourites are Sorry and Rivers Run. If you're new to Karine's songs and want easier listening I would say start with Scribbled in Chalk instead, but the best would be to try to see her live on tour - then you'll appreciate how much personal observation and perspective goes into each song.
What a find!!! Faultless!
Buy this one, and then buy them all. You'll not be disappointed.
That's Proper Folk I'd heard of Karine Polwart but never heard her perform until I spent £1.99 on the "That's Proper Folk" CD (or whatever it's called). Possibly the best £1.99 I've ever spent, if only because it introduced me to this album. Karine Polwart was head and shoulders the winner on that CD (and I'm a fan of Cara Dillon, so work that one out) with the track "Sorry". Which meant that I had to go out and buy this CD. Worth every penny: there's clearly a trad-folk element running throughout... more info
Dissapointing I have loved karine Polwarts first two albums Faultlines and Scribbled in Chalk and she is great live and i was really looking forward to this new album. However, despite repeated plays i just cannot get in to it. Compared to the other 2 albums there is a lack of tunes and it is rather dull.It all seems a much of a muchness and all the tracks tend to sound the same. There are some good lyrics but it is ruined by the lack of tunes.If you are new to Karine i would stick with the first 2 albums identified... more info
