Kate Rusby was almost a soap star instead of a singer. Luckily for us she didn't get the part in Emmerdale Farm which meant that she instead picked up a guitar and began a career singing folk songs. Ten celebrates a decade of Rusby's involvement in folk music and is filled with many of the songs which have helped make the darling of the UK scene. Anyone who has heard the combination of her slightly melancholy mezzo-soprano voice and her insouciant guitar playing will know that she can transform the palest ditties into spellbinding songs.

Kate Rusby was almost a soap star instead of a singer. Luckily for us she didn't get the part in Emmerdale Farm which meant that she instead picked up a guitar and began a career singing folk songs. Ten celebrates a decade of Rusby's involvement in folk music and is filled with many of the songs which have helped make the darling of the UK scene. Anyone who has heard the combination of her slightly melancholy mezzo-soprano voice and her insouciant guitar playing will know that she can transform the palest ditties into spellbinding songs. As well as presenting a good spread of her own material-- culled from her several previous LPs--Rusby also resurrects some old favourites, giving classics such as "The Recruited Collier" and "I Wonder What Is Keeping My True Love" new leases of life. Ranging from sad laments and stirring lullabies to happy-go-lucky sea shanties, this is an excellent profile of one of Britain's finest folk talents. --Paul Sullivan
