ELIZA Carthy could make tasteful Anglicana-style albums and scoop the BBC Folk Awards every year.

Eliza Carthy is one of the finest and bravest performers in the British folk revival. Eight years ago, she was dropped by Warners after her first intriguing album of self-composed songs, Angels and Cigarettes; undeterred, she continued her inventive and classy reworking of traditional material. Now, at last, there's an even finer new album of her own songs, released on our best-known independent folk label, Topic. It's effortlessly confident, wildly varied and almost impossible to categorise. There are British folk influences, of course, but mixed in with everything from trip-hop to mariachi, country and swing, with backing brass, strings, accordion, banjo and Carthy's own violin, piano, melodeon or guitar work. Just to be awkward, the album starts with the least interesting track, Follow the Dollar, dominated by Carthy's raw electric guitar. But then it switches to the poignant, Tom Waits-influenced Two Tears, the shuffling rhythm patterns of Rows of Angels, and the bleakly witty, south-of-the-border brass of Mr Magnifico. Then she changes direction again, from the squeezebox dance work of Little Bigmen to a glorious brassy ode to a bad night's drinking, Oranges and Seasalt. Magnificent.
Dreams of Breathing Underwaters The Sun Rating ****1/2
IN the world of trad folk, Eliza’s parents Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson are the king and queen. But Eliza has always been a rather wayward daughter. Her musical adventures have taken her to all sorts of strange realms far from her folk roots. The twice-Mercury-nominated singer’s eighth solo album might just be her boldest, most varied, most wild adventure yet. First up is Follow The Dollar which packs a solid rock punch. Rows Of Angels has a hip-hop vibe. Mr Magnifico is a riot of mariachi horns and Lavenders is washed with ravishing contemporary atmospherics. There is still time for the more conventional stylings on songs like the yearning Rosalie. This is the work of a wonderful artist who refuses to stand still. SC
The Scotsman - Dreams of Breathing Underwater 4/5 stars
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.
