Apples

Just when you thought that June Tabor had reached her peak, she surprises by sounding fresher than ever. A singer completely at home with her voice and her music. From her first recording June Tabor demonstrated a mature command of traditional and contemporary songs alike, singing them, often unaccompanied, with remarkable individuality and expressiveness. The emotions and meanings she uncovers in the old songs give them a new resonance that has caught the imagination of audiences far beyond the folk scene. 'Apples' is a remarkable folk masterclass and another fine addition to the exemplary June Tabor catalogue.
