Title: The best and worse of folk
Product review: Cruel sister is without doubt what is best in English (and Geordie-Newcastle Upon Tyne) folk music. The Winterset and the Unthanks sisters have a rare and deep talent for turning out a song.The stand-out here is "On a Monday Morning@. The worst, the irritating title track at over 8 minutes "Cruel Sister". If you like how folk can repeat-then mabe you wont be sent screamin' for the hills by the title track. Me, I hid me head beneath the pillow and screeched nooooo like a banshee. But overall this is a gem of a collection. For me, the Unthanks girls have kept me in touch with my roots and the best of my roots in tradition foul and fair. "The Fair Flower of Northumberland"-listen and weep over the Scottish man pig-"I have a wifey at home but you-yer slut wer just a shag like." Sigh. If you are a folkie or like a good song then go on, add it to your collection. You won't regret it. They are a talent.
