Chris Foster - Jewels

Review by Shailesh Pyasi

Jewels, the latest album by Chris Foster, is a true masterpiece of folk music. The album is a collection of traditional and original songs, beautifully arranged and performed by Foster and his team of talented musicians.

The album starts with the hauntingly beautiful "The Plains of Waterloo," a traditional ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Foster's voice is strong and emotive, perfectly capturing the sadness and despair of the song.

Throughout the album, Foster's guitar playing is exemplary, providing the perfect accompaniment to his vocals. The arrangements are simple yet effective, allowing the songs to shine through.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Last Leviathan," a powerful and moving song about the extinction of whales. Foster's voice is filled with emotion as he sings about the destruction of these magnificent creatures.

Another highlight is the traditional song "The Unquiet Grave," which Foster performs with a haunting beauty that sends shivers down the spine.

About Chris Foster

English folksinger, guitarist and artist. Chris Foster (born 1948), is an English singer and guitarist known for his interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs. He was born in Somerset, a county in the west country of England. It is there that he first heard and started singing traditional songs. He trained as an artist at the Norwich, and Chelsea Schools of Art. His professional "break" came in the early 1970s when a music agent spotted him singing at Dingles Folk Club in London. This led to eight years as a professional solo folk singer/guitarist. He recorded two, highly regarded albums in the late 1970s: "Layers" (1977) and "All Things in Common" (1979). Both featured mainly traditional songs with often complex fingerstyle accompaniments (some in open tunings) on a Fylde acoustic guitar. He stopped full-time touring in the 1980s to work on various arts-based projects including appearing in several "mixed media" shows. Since September 1999 he has been the Co-ordinator of the Baring-Gould Heritage Project. However, he has continued to produce solo albums, tour (both in the UK and abroad), and collaborate with other artists, including his current partner, the Icelandic Folk singer Bára Grímsdóttir.
