Ah, folk music. Beards. Tweed. Old men with beards and tweed. Right? Yes. But not always. Kate Rusby is just one of a handful of young mainly British folk artists who have slowly but surely made the genre semi-cool again. The Barnsley lass has released seven albums, which I am excitedly planning to rediscover over the next few months, starting with 1997's Hourglass, made up of both traditional folk songs and Rusby's own compositions.
And speaking of 1997, this is yet another classic album from that year, all of which celebrate their 10th anniversary this year, so I am planning to construct a post based around this fact. Stay tuned. In the meantime, break out your bodhran, dust off your dulcimer and enjoy the opening track from Kate Rusby's debut album.
Kate Rusby: Sir Elgamore
Plus, Ain't she purty?
