Description:
Norma Waterson, described by Mojo magazine as "possibly the finest English singer alive today," is one of the most important and best loved figures on the British folk scene. Aside from her wonderful, rich and distinctive voice, her particular skill is in her choice of songs and how she makes each relevant to a modern audience. Her career goes back to the early 1960`s with the folk supergroup The Watersons who took the nascent folk revival by storm. The Definitive Collection has Norma in a number of settings, with tracks from her solo albums, as well as collaborations and group performances from The Watersons and with Martin Carthy, gathered from her Topic and Hannibal catalogues. This collection also includes an unreleased live recording of "Ain`t No Man Worth the Salt Of My Tears".
