Publisher: Free Reed Release date: 2006-10-16 RRP: £48.99 Price: £33.99
Review Mid Winter / Various Artists:Free Reed's award-winning Revival Masters series of box-sets has so far explored the careers of some of the greatest folk and folk-rock stars (most recently, the best-selling RT - The Life & Music of Richard Thompson): their Cropredy Capers celebrated the world's longest running folk-rock festival, while their epic Transports set told the story of the birth of Australia. This UK label's new October 2006 release dedicates four CDs and a 156-page book to the music and traditions of MidWinter. Most of the key elements and a great many of the songs that make up what we call the Traditional Christmas began life in America, but as this set shows there are midwinter traditions which stretch back hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus - including practices both pious and pagan, which were among the first exports from Britain to the New World. The set's 115 recordings include music and readings from both sides of the Atlantic and cover an astounding range of traditional genres - from Sacred Harp to the Sheffield Carols, big ballads to blues, singer-songwriters and tradition-bearers, living legends and recent stars.

Review Train 45: Railroad Songs Of The Early 1900s / Various Artists:If you think popular music is a fickle mistress, blame America's railroads. These days the rails inspire little more than hackneyed romantic metaphors, but in the early years of the recording industry, they constituted a formidable, pervasive fad and set a precedent for topical songwriting that will likely never go out of fashion. Train 45, the fourth volume in an ongoing series, collects some of the most charming and evocative railroad songs from the first half of the 20th century. Though meticulously remastered, these old 78 sides still sound scratchy and muted-just as they should. After all, it's hard to picture a railside hobo (the original inspiration and audience for many of these songs) listening to a CD in the first place. He'd sooner use it for a shaving mirror. -Matt Hanks.
