Hi everyone,

Here's what we have coming up this week:

Monday's Outside Track will be Lodestar, the new album from Shirley Collins and her first solo record in almost 40 years. Collins is a monumental figure in the world of folk music, helping kickstart the folk revival in the US with her collections of field recordings with Alan Lomax, her reinterpretations of traditional tunes, and her pivotal role in groups like Fairport Convention. Working with support that includes the Coil associates Cyclobe, the arrangements are as full-bodied as her days with Fairport Convention and as sparse and inventive as when her sister Dolly was putting anachronistic medieval touches on her anachronistic medieval songs. As ever her voice is the core, and even if she can't hit all the notes she used to, it's still an inventive, haunting, and beautiful series of performances.
