Nancy Wallace is well folk. She's about as folk as you can get. Here's her new album called 'Old Stories' which is a lovely sounding folk album where she sings about niceness and other such things. Not a hint of darkness on here... just some gentle Celtic sounding folk to soothe and appease my hungover state this morning. I like it actually. In fact I think it's very much like James Yorkston. If you thought his voice was a bit low imagine him in some tight pants wincing over some sea shanty ish tunes. Actually Nancy has a lovely voice. This is all very very gentle and pretty and like I said earlier, very soothing. I like it a lot. CD only on Midwich records!
* As the voice of The Memory Band, Nancy Wallace will already be familiar to many. After two albums of effortless modern folk classics with The Memory Band Nancy is now finally ready to release her debut album.
* It is the first release for Midwich Records, a new label from the minds of The Owl Service; bringing together the best of British folk outsiders with the vision to see beyond the restrictions of simply being folk artists.
* Her debut solo release, the Young Hearts EP from 2005, saw Nancy’s appeal reach a wider audience with its canny marrying of disco anthems to a folk sound. It won the hearts of everyone who heard it and tracks from the EP have been licensed to several compilation albums.
* On Old Stories, traditional songs sit happily alongside Nancy’s original compositions with a flow so effortless you forget which is which and the relaxed sound and simple yet rich arrangements compliment her voice perfectly. A
charming modesty presides over the whole set but the one enduring thing you take away from listening to this album is that Nancy Wallace is a huge talent.
