‘In My Life’ review

Gina le Faux “In my life”
Label: Le faux music; LFM 006; 2009Gina le Faux, not a name that rang a bell the first second but hearing her beautiful music and diving in to her past showed a musician with a long history in (more or less) English folk music. She was the fiddler of Hom bru, a band that played music from the Shetlands, played in Shegui for a short while, started building her own violins, played with numerous known folk artists and recorded her first solo album in 1988. Now her new album is released and together with Martin Simpson, Andy Cutting, Hugh Bradley and Keith Angel she recorded one of the best folk albums of the year. Surprised by her deep and intense vocals, Le Faux takes me on a journey passing strong original songs like The critics song (only guitar and vocals), a self written instrumental called Il ya toujours demain / magnifikat which shows her quality as a fiddler backed by Andy Cutting on melodeon. Besides her own work a fantastic version of Hank William’s Alone and forsaken which is a highlight on this album, a heartbreaking version of the traditional Kellswater and the album ends in style with her personal version of the Lennon/McCartney song In my life. Great album, great singer, great songwriter and great band backing this beautiful singer.
