Heart's Ease

by Shirley Collins

Bohemian Square It should go without saying that it’s a moral imperative to buy this album - the world should pay tribute to Shirley Collins for her mere existence. That this is a strong collection, and that amongst many legendary songs from the Public Domain the original “Locked In Ice” is the best song on the album, makes it not just a purchase of necessity but one of pleasure. Favorite track: Locked In Ice.

steee What do you want? It's Shirley Collins and some great folk musicians doing what they do best. The woman is 85 and fucking kicking ass, do yourself a favor and appreciate her while she's around. Favorite track: Locked In Ice.

about

On Heart’s Ease, Shirley delivers a record even stronger than Lodestar having completely regained her confidence, and singing so well that you can’t believe she was away for so long. As Shirley put it, “Lodestar wasn’t too bad, was it? But when I listen to it, it does sometimes sound rather tentative. I had to record it at home because I was just too nervous to sing in front of somebody I didn’t know. This time I was far more relaxed – even though I went into a studio.” Recorded at Metway in Brighton, Heart’s Ease is as compelling and original as Shirley’s great albums from the Sixties and Seventies. There are traditional songs, of course, from England and the USA, but there are also more new songs than in the past (four non-traditional tracks) and there’s even a burst of experimentation that hints at possible new directions to come.
