Eliza Carthy officially inherits the British folk crown from her parents with the willfully traditional Rough Music. Described in the liner notes as \"a form of community punishment practiced all over England\" (basically a public beating for a heinous social crime), Rough Music sounds like a lost pre-percussion Steeleye Span record filtered through A.L. Lloyd\'s whaling collection Leviathan! Carthy\'s strong fiddling and powerful vocals -- she really is beginning to surpass Norma -- are ably enhanced by the chiseled performance of her backing band, the Ratcatchers. Together they celebrate longstanding English traditions like public execution (\"Turpin Hero\"), syphilis (\"The Unfortunate Lass\"), and alcohol (\"Tom Brown\") with equal parts reverence, earnestness, and mischief. Primarily arranged for violin, viola, double bass, and melodeon, Rough Music also features lovely a cappella cuts like \"Maid on the Shore\" and enough fiery instrumentals to keep your feet on the cobblestones during the long walk home from the pub. In fact, there\'s not a moment on Rough Music that isn\'t essential listening. Highly recommended.
