Reviews
5 stars out of 5 -- "10 songs of love and transgression, hard times, darkness, betrayal and no going back....Sparely intuitively performed, it's simply excellent.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE HARROW AND THE HARVEST maintains a singular mood and sense of atmosphere -- its terrain, musically and emotionally, is stark and bleak but beautiful.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Reminiscent of her striking 1996 debut, REVIVAL, this is pure, unadulterated traditional country music, as once played by The Carter Family or Delmore Brothers.", 3.5 Stars Out of 5 -- "There's a Light That Never Goes Out on the Harrow & the Harvest.", Ranked #2 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Bare and finely wrought new country-folk songs, rendered with guitar, banjo, two voices and the odd foot-stomp...", "On song after song, Welch balances the ancient and the modern with an ease and grace that scarcely seems possible."
