Various Artists - Shining Bright, The Songs of Lal & Mike Waterson [2002] - Butterboy

Now I have only recently been singing the praises of Butterboy compilations and just recently I have been listening to these . . . firstly a stunning set of covers of two of the legendary Folk Dynasty, the Waterson family and here Lal and Mike are focussed upon with covers from Eliza Carthy (a member herself of said dynasty) and other family members too with the husband and wife team of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson the matriarch who we only lost just recently really) but this also features fascinating and stunning singers too in the likes of Christine Collister, Linda Thompson and her son Teddy, Maddy Prior, Christy Moore and Dick Gaughan, legends all  . . . . . . . .
