Martha Tilston - Lucy & the Wolves

2010 album from the British Folk singer/songwriter. Martha Tilston is a captivating performer, an enchanting writer blessed with a gloriously clear and seductive voice. Throughout Lucy & the Wolves, Martha expresses herself in her trademark, endearingly direct, poetic manner, putting forward her philosophy of life, and examining relationships in an accessible, universal way. The songs are exquisitely set, the musicianship is faultless: A mesh of violins, viola, cello, double bass and, unusually. Trombone. Martha's stepmum, Maggie Boyle, adds flute/harmonies to "Wild Swimming"; "Searching for Lambs" was recorded in a Somerset wood with help from only a few neighboring crows.
