June Tabor - Ashes And Diamonds
Review by Christian Gehring
June Tabor's Ashes and Diamonds is a hauntingly beautiful album that showcases her stunning voice and impeccable musicianship. The album features a mix of traditional and contemporary folk songs, each one delivered with Tabor's signature emotional intensity.
From the opening track "The Scarecrow" to the haunting "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda," Tabor's voice is both powerful and delicate, conveying a range of emotions that are at times heartbreaking and at other times uplifting.
The arrangements on the album are equally impressive, with Tabor collaborating with some of the best musicians in the folk world to create a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The result is an album that feels both rooted in tradition and completely fresh and modern.

1977 Medieval Folk song ⚔️?

I too have both Tabor's renditions; good and I agree with Jim Hindmarch; Francis Elder's version is unmissable. And Elder's Mary Hamilton? indeed wow! Trad ballad given the 'method' treatment.

I have both tabors versions - this cd and on echo of hooves - I heard francis elder do it recently in Oxford - now that one you got to hear - has he done recordings? - mary hamilton is on youtube - wow!

I wonder whether there are earlier recorded versions of this ballad. The lyrics here are more complete than in later renditions.

I remember being at a performance by June over 40 years ago. There weren't many of us but we were all mesmerised by that haunting voice and the wonderful interpretation of the songs. Lovely
