Negative Positive
Title: Yes, this is a good album, by and large
Review: After reading the hatchet job done on Amanda Pitt, I revisited this album just see what it was that I was missing. I count four selections (Over the Mountains, Little Moth, Charle is My Darling, and Ca' the yowes to the knowes) where I would have preferred to hear another singer handling the duties. She does strike me as being a bit arch and not in control on these selections. I say this not as a trained singer but as a musician. Otherwise, I found the duets to be quite wonderful, and I thought Pitt's solo on "If Love Should Pass Me By" to be one of the better selections on this CD. The other performers are very good --- I especially enjoyed David Wilson-Johnson's work on The Arnold Songs.
Is the review positive or negative?
