  • We Say...

    Teaming the renowned Celtic band with enchanting siren June Tabor, this is a sultry, smoldering folk-rock classic, highlighted by covers of Billy Bragg and the Velvet Underground.

  • They Say...

    Tabor teams up with one of Britain's leading folk-rock outfits, the Oyster Band, with fairly successful results, although it won't be the favorite of June's most traditionally-minded fans. She takes all the lead vocals on these fully electrified arrangements. The material is certainly varied, including both traditional numbers and covers of contemporary folk and rock tunes by Richard Thompson, Si Kahn, the Pogues, Billy Bragg, and the Velvet Underground.
