Description

Helen Watson has one of the most distinctive and beguiling voices on the British roots music scene. These two classic albums, recorded for Fledg'ling Records in the late 1990s, are intriguing, magical collections of her jewel-like original songs and a gorgeous reading of songs by some of her favourite songwriters - including Junior Parker, Bruce Springsteen, Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham and John Hiatt. This is two of Helen Watson's finest albums united in a splendid new 2CD set. Helen Watsons Somersault from 1997 is an intriguing, magical collection of her jewel-like original songs and a gorgeous reading of the Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham classic Out Of Left Field. The album presents a previously unrecorded side of her music. Doffing, first released in 1999 saw one of Britain's most distinctive and acclaimed voices pay tribute to some of her favourite songs and songwriters. An extraordinary album, from an idiosyncratic reading of Junior Parker's Mystery Train, through the exuberant high jinx of the Maddox Brother's I Want To Live & Love to the deep soul of Paul Kelly's Personally and the beautiful acapella take on Springsteen's Ain't Got You.
