Dreams of Breathing Underwater

****

Topic Records TSCD571, £11.99

The daughter of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson has moved from her peaceful studio in the Scottish Borders back down to the Midlands, and has brought out a new album that might perplex those in search of 'traditional' folk music.

What you get is chamber orchestra, brash percussion and quirky, assertive vocal harmonies in songs rich in Latin grooves and Caribbean flavours with a rousing, music-hall ambience.

Guests adding to Carthy's appealingly idiosyncratic, eclectic songscapes include Eddie Reader and members of Salsa Celtica.
