Morning Way (1970)Genres: pop, folk-pop, psychedelic pop |
Trader Horne was a duo consisting of original Fairport Convention singer Judy Dyble (vocals, electric nuto-harp, piano) and Jackie McAuley (vocals, acoustic guitar, harpsichord, organ, piano, flute, congas and celesta). On this, their only recording, they are supported by Ray Elliot (flute and bass clarinet), John Godfrey (bass) and Andy White (drums). The songs are basically precious folk-pop ditties that are both cute and catchy, without being ingratiating. Those are rare qualities (otherwise I would appreciate pop music a lot more) and a result of good song writing. Even though you might wear it out rather quickly, the high quality of the songs and the superb instrumentation makes the album interesting for quite a while. Perhaps you shouldn’t bother if you are into Univers Zero, though.
