Re: Folk Cup 2019 Semi Final Match 3
I love the Incredible String Band and I adore Mike Heron's stuff
This is a lovely selection - very nice!
Ane Brun was very nice with a voice the grabbed me instantly - a lovely performance, again really nice!
This is a tough one - very tough
So, with difficulty, B has it
B has it

Re: Folk Cup 2019 Semi Final Match 3
Even though Williamson is the real talent in the ISB, I have pleasant memories of that star-studded Heron debut. And A has bonus Richard Thompson (I assume) for good measure.
B is a lovely song, but I don't really care for the wispy voice that every folkie female born after about 1972 seems to use.

A doesn't really connect with me, i'm afraid, but B is quite lovely and affecting.

Both nice picks but B just had more immediacy and grabbed me on first listen with its vocal and sweet melody, while I think A is probably more of a grower.

I found B merely pleasant, A on the other hand I rather enjoyed.

Re: Folk Cup 2019 Semi Final Match 3
Very hard choice - I've played both several times over the last couple of days and having started with a slight preference for Ane Brun swung towards Mike Heron (which got better with plays). Played the Heron again just now & was ready to vote for it, then trued the Brun again.
Brun, with her Partonesque warble just takes it.

A was nice enough without really connecting.... Brun did a nice job channeling Emmylou through this song.

Re: Folk Cup 2019 Semi Final Match 3
Hmm, return of the disappointing solo release by an ISB-er. It's not as disappointing earlier Robin Williamson effort, because it isn't just a cheap pastiche, but it's also not very good. I think I have to say that there are just too many elements that don't work for me in the folk idiom: electric bass, Richard Thompson's approach to guitar twattery; that tinge of Americana. It's a shame, as Heron's free-wheelin' voice is full of character.
B's very Dolly Parton, with a fairly unoriginal guitar pattern, but it's nicely sung and effective enough. I get the feeling that A was a far better song, but ruined by the arrangement and choice of musicians. Wheras B was a simple unoriginal song, delivered with aplomb.

Never cared for the ISB, and don't like this at all.
She might as well be singing in Icelandic for all I can understand through that warble/vibrato, but it's a pleasant enough amble through a traditional song structure. She didn't have to do much to win, and she has.
