Music reviews of The Definitive Collection
Music Review: Seems better with each playing, yet not a total success...
Rating: 3 Stars
I hate to disagree with prior reviewer Peter Durward Harris of Great Britain, whose writing I have followed since I got on the computer in the summer of 2001. We have similar tastes, considering that I am a Yankee, and have reviewed the same music many times. However, this Ewan MacColl CD only gave me sporadic pleasure. The first time I listened, I only liked six of the 20 tracks...the uptempo ones, the ones with the most accompaniment, the most familiar songs. The second play, I found I liked four more, 50 percent of the disc. I have been a folk fan for 45 years, and I am as Anglo-Saxon as any NJ-born guy could ever be. I heard ABOUT Ewan MacColl ever since the very early '60's, but never actually heard much BY him. I knew he wrote the ubiquitous "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and was married to Pete Seeger's sister. Then when I became a fan of the Pogues, I discovered his daughter Kristy, in her incredibly beautiful guest vocal on one of their CD's. Now I have "discovered" Ewan at last, but the selections on this release, overall, seem too sparse, slow and funereal for my taste. I think I will like him better when I can afford to buy discs of his sea songs or those he wrote or co-wrote.
Description of The Definitive Collection
Drawn from his extensive and highly influential Topic catalog from the late sixties onwards, The Definitive Collection is a wide-ranging anthology of traditional ballads and Ewan's own compositions reflecting Scottish and English historical ballads and commentaries on contemporary life as it was lived in the British Isles. It includes many performances new to CD. 20 tracks. Highpoint.General CDs
