Music reviews of Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns

Music Review: The sound of heartbreak
Rating: 5 Stars

There are few things in this world more beautiful than Eddi Reader's voice. Only she could have made a set of ostensibly impenetrable material so beguiling and accessible. From the earthy come-hither of "Jamie Come Try Me" to the languidly beautiful romance of "My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose", all the way through to a heart-stopping "Auld Lang Syne", Reader takes these songs and breathes real life into them, replacing prissy antiquity with sensuality and a warmly beating heart. "Ae Fond Kiss", one of the most beautiful laments to lost love, and "John Anderson My Jo", a hymn to life-long love, might be thematically opposed but the tenderness of the singing adds the seal of truth to every line. Listen to this music and wallow in the most sublime heartbreak.

That a pop fan like me can be so enraptured by these old songs is a tribute, yes, to Burns' poetry and to the sensitivity of producer Boo Hewerdine and the stellar musicians, but chiefly to the magic of Reader's incredible voice.
