June Tabor and the Oyster Band - Freedom and Rain 1990 Album
June Tabor and the Oyster Band
Freedom and Rain
June Tabor is a fantastic voice, who unfortunately tends to over-specialise in misery and gloom. The Oyster band are a post-fairport, post-Steeleye Folk Rock band, full of good musicians, lacking a great singer and lacking a bit in direction.
Put the two together and you have dynamite, you have folk-rock at its very best. This is a great Album, with the drive and energy of the Oyster band clicking perfectly with the wonderful voice of June Tabor.
