Good Morning Folk for 17/10/2003

This week the 2 Feature CDs are by a Canadian Trio and an English Folk legend.

From Canada comes a CD by Finest Kind and true to their name they are of the Finest Kind. The CD is called "Silks and Spices". The harmonies are spot on and any instrumentation used fits the songs well. Great CD. Unfortunately not available in Australia but you can go to their website www.finestkind.ca

The second CD is the latest offering of June Tabor, certainly a living folk music legend. for this CD "on echo of hooves" she has taken 11 Childs songs and produced one of her finest recordings. The CD is available from from Folk Trax www.folktrax.com
