Eliza Carthy, Wayward Daughter

 

CD Topic Rec.  2010  (TSCD772D)

Doppia compilation realizzata da Ian Anderson (FRoots) che ripercorre la carriera di Eliza in quanto cantante.  31 tracce per celebrare 21 anni di carriera. Lei stessa spiega nel booklet che la scelta si è indirizzata sulle canzoni e non sui pezzi puramente strumentali. Tra le composizioni compare anche il previously unreleased "Colourblind". Sempre nel libretto, disegnato da Brad Waters e Martin Simmonds, vi è un'introduzione di Mark Radcliffe. La fotografia di copertina è opera di Tom Howard.
