karen Matheson still time

​Karen Matheson (from the album Still Time available on Compass Records)
Adding to the pace and heft of traditional British Isle Folk music, Karen Matheson presents “Diamond Ring” in the vein of Folk/Rock incarnations of the craft, Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention. Her new release, Still Time, surrounds “Ae Fond Kiss” with a sparse piano ramble and the whisper of bowed strings as Karen Matheson puts hopes for a better life in the “Orphan Girl” chorus of ‘sail me away to Australia’, gracefully introducing “Lassie with the Lint White Locks”. Spirits rise in the military marching rhythms of “The Glory Demons” as the storyline gives up its children in the cause of war while Still Timepresents its title track as a kaleidoscope of musical instruments and gently offers “Recovery”.
 
Steeped in the sound of tradition, Karen Matheson first found footing on stage in the Scottish village of Argyll where she grew up, beginning a song cycle that would last 35 years immersed in the inspirations of musical history. A hearty beat pushes the edge musically as an equally sharp story unfolds in “Laurel to a Wreath” with ethereal strings hushing for “The Aragon Mill” as Karen Matheson adds a touch of the Blues to “Little Gun” and floats on the effervescent Jazz inflections of “Cassiopeia Coming Through”.
