Go to the Sharron Kraus website  Sharron Kraus - The Fox's Wedding [Durtro Jnana - 2008]

Sharron Kraus is one of the most prolific, yet consistent and rewarding English folk artists working today with her solo work and various projects such as the excellent Rosalina & Tau Emerald. The Fox's Wedding is her 8th solo album since she started to releasing work in 2002.

The album finds her in beautiful, melodic yet atmospheric mood being a lot more pop folk like and less experimental than some of her work. As always she takes the beauty & traditional feel of folk music but adds her own distinct & fresh haunted edge to it- with her very English and powerful, yet soothing folk singing. Many of the tracks melodic and atmospheric acoustic guitar pluck and strum are densely and lushly layered with piano, banjo, recorder and swooped and soothed by violin and voila playing by Jane Griffiths. It all shows her not only as a great song writer but arranger too. Really The foxes Wedding is faultless, enchanting, rich and haunting through out with every track having it’s own charm, atmosphere and feel- with wonderfully vocal, lyrically performance over melodic immaculately played and layered song craft.

Simply put: a great, great memorable and atmospheric English folk record and a great enter point to the wonderfully world Sharron Kruas work. Really a must ‘buy’ even if you only have passing interest in folk in general- I can really see myself playing, enjoy and cherishing this for years to come.
