Until recently, the only women that could inspire to me intense emotions were Billie Holiday and Melanie Safka. But this was before I discovered Mandy Morton, specially this album, and found that another woman voice could make me shiver. Mandy Morton has a very quiet voice but with something severe and a resignation in it that produces a feeling of fatal fate that I would call doom. She really is the perfect vehicle to carry a quality of despair more often represented in the funeral doom movement than in the classic folk one. It is true that traditional songs are often full of morbid visions and tragic destinies, but here Mandy Morton never seems to mimic these old times and makes these words as relevant today than they were in their times. It must be specified that all the songs are originals and none old ones arranged. The miracle is that the music perfectly suits her vocal approach, whereas in the english folk planet of the seventies, virtuosity and demonstration often ruined any emotional quality. Not here. The album is her first released under the name of Mandy Morton and the Spriguns. The previous ones were released only as the Spriguns. Honestly, no one of these previous works can rivalize with this masterpiece. They all have too much "exercices de style" on them to convince and Mandy has only a secondary role. Here, the band is at her service and she deserves it. All the songs are gems. It has been really difficult to chose one for a streaming listening. ( ) Mandy has published 2 other albums after this one, no more under the name of the Spriguns, certainly because of her separation from her companion, one of the founders of the band. They are not as fantastics as this one but still very good. She works for now several years in a radio in which she has a cultural show and I hope she doesn't miss the music since the music does miss her. Enjoy this magic lady here (the magic lady is Sandy Denny, dead the previous year and to whom the eponymus song is dedicated) (dkandroughmix-forgottensongs.blogspot.de)
