I’m getting more and more into folk as of late. I randomly ran across the 1976 Silly Sisters album by June Tabor and Maddy Prior and it’s been on repeat ever since. Their harmonies are just…”poifect.” (Writing phonetically is the only way to truly express how much joy I get from this album.) I’ve been listening to their solo work too (gotta love iTunes recommendations!) and it’s just so lovely. Definitely a must-listen.
Also, it doesn’t hurt to have an album cover that looks like this. You are my inspiration, ladies.
Listen to The Grey Funnel Line

Ooh this is beautiful stuff..
I love the Silly Sisters! “Grey Funnel Line” is my favorite– so melancholy and beautiful. You might also like a duet called “Last Forever”. Sonya Cohen has a gorgeous voice and for some reason reminds me a lot of the Silly Sisters’ work. Pretty obscure but worth looking for.
