June Tabor, who rose to prominence in the mid-70s and has led the UK folk scene to this day, has maintained a unique presence. While being recognized as the greatest female singer in UK folk, she has built her career without being bound by traditional songs. This album is an all-time best compilation that could only be produced by Topic, which has released most of her works, and looks back on her career with 15 songs. Recommended as a first album for new fans. Media Reviews etc. June Tabor became a folk singer after listening to the songs of Anne Briggs, who was called the "eternal sweetheart of British folk," and followed in her footsteps to become a central figure in the scene. This album features a balanced selection of songs from her works from her first solo album in 1976 to "To the Beach." The album includes selections from the Silly Sisters' second album and collaborations with the Oyster Band (including a James Carr cover). This all-time best-of compilation could only be created because Topic has released so much of her discography. (C)RS
