  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    A bold and stunning fifth album from this renowned Australian duo, featuring their trademark vocal harmonies and intricate arrangements. Produced by Luke Plumb, 'Declaration' takes a contemporary approach to trad music and lifts it to a whole new level.



    From Luke:
    "There’s a lot of bold material on the album in terms of both subject matter and treatment… I don’t think the album could ever be accused of being safe, of retreading familiar ground or of gently easing back into the saddle and that was one of our conclusions in the preparation stage - this had to be a real step further from the previous albums".

about

Inspired by versions from both Karen Dalton and Linda Thompson, Katy Cruel is widely known as an American folk song but is believed to have Scottish origins and contains fragments of Irish traditional songs. It is said that the American version dates back to the colonial period and was sung by marching soldiers during the American War of Independence. First collected from Miss Lucy Allen and published by Eloise Linscott in “Folk Songs of Old New England” (1939), Miss Allen described Katy Cruel being sung: ‘As evening came, the children were put to bed upstairs, and around the great fireplace the men sang the haunting song with deep emotion’. Despite being an outcast, Katy is a wonderfully inspiring picture of a defiant and self-assured woman who refuses to conform to social expectations to be with the man she loves.
