Mossy Christian
Come Nobles and Heroes
(Talking Cat/One Row Records)
★★★★★
THIS debut album from young Lincolnshire-born folk artist Mossy Christian is an impressive start to what looks set to be a promising career in performing traditional music.
Its 13 songs all stem from the musical traditions of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and there is a strong sense of history, geography and storytelling in their performance. The Red Barn Murder tells the true story of the 1827 murder of Maria Marten in Suffolk, while The Way through the Wood is an interpretation of a Kipling poem set to music by Peter Bellamy.
