Jackie Oates - Gracious Wings Needle Pin Records NP2

This is Jackie’s eighth studio album since 2006. Although this is a solo album showcasing Jackie’s excellent vocals, she is backed on various tracks by eight other musicians including the likes of John Spiers, Jon Wilks and Megan Henwood. The 11 tracks include a good selection of traditional songs, such as When I was a Fair Maid, Tammy Toddles, The Ship in Distress, and Lament to the Moon. Other tracks such as Robin Tells of Winter / Gracious Wings, were written by Jackie herself, while La Llorna comes from Jackie and Megan. There is also Charlie Dore’s Looking for My Own Lone Ranger and Tom Waits’ Time Time Time, so there is a good variety of quality songs well sung. The CD comes in a cardboard cover with a small booklet with interesting background notes on each track. Jackie has done many things over the last 16 years including appearing in a Mick Ryan Folk Opera, playing in Imagined Village, being resident artist at The Museum of Rural Life, and researching songs sung by lace makers, but I always prefer her simple renditions of traditional folk songs.
