Popis - ESSENTIAL:
To mark his 70th birthday, Topic - the label on which he has spent the large majority of his recording career - has compiled a 34-track double CD reflecting 40 years of recordings from over 20 albums. Its far from exhaustive (youll have to forage for Free Reeds The Carthy Chronicles box set from 2001 for the closest thing to that) but, illuminated by extensive sleeve notes, it still offers a thorough and entertaining insight into the jaw-dropping range and richness of the mans magnificent career. The earliest tracks include his landmark arrangements of Scarborough Fair and Lord Franklin which helped ignite the imaginations of Paul Simon and Bob Dylan respectively. There are also plenty of the spritely collaborations with fiddle player Dave Swarbrick, which galvanised the nascent folk scene back in the day. With so much outstanding material at their disposal, the compilers must have had a nightmare deciding what to omit. But theyve successfully covered most of the bases: the epic ballads Prince Heathen and Famous Flower of Serving Men; Watersons and Brass Monkey cameos; the starkness of David Ackles His Name Is Andrew. Theres fun stuff like The Devil & The Feathery Wife and A Stitch In Time, guitar wizardry on Siege of Delhi and The Harry Lime Theme, and his own momentous anti-war tirade The Dominion of the Sword. In a collection marked by the many shifting contours and altering styles of his remarkable career, its distinguishing feature is the inspirational compassion and humanity that threads through both the material and the performances of Carthy himself. A celebration, indeed.
