Description


A discrete slim-line 2CD digipac uniting two classic albums from the very wonderful Helen Watson with new sleevenotes and all elements of the original artwork.Somersault from 1997 is an intriguing, magical collection of her jewel-like original songs and a gorgeous reading of the Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham classic ‘Out Of Left Field’. The album presents a previously unrecorded side of her music. Doffing, first released in 1999 saw one of Britain’s most distinctive and acclaimed voices pay tribute to some of her favourite songs and songwriters. An extraordinary album, from an idiosyncratic reading of Junior Parker’s “Mystery Train’, through the exuberant high jinx of the Maddox Brother’s ‘I Want To Live & Love’ to the deep soul of Paul Kelly’s ‘Personally’ and the beautiful acapella take on Springsteen’s ‘Ain’t Got You’.

“An intellect can be sensuous. Helen Watson’s is.”

“What a fabulous voice and a unique cocktail of music.”
