(2019) House and Land - Across the Field
Review:
It is a wonderful season for reinterpreted traditional music, with this second set from Sarah Louise Henson and Sally Anne Morgan’s North Carolina based House and Land duo coming around the same time as Jake Xerxes Fussell’s exceptional new Out of Sight album, which also deals in reintroducing obscure old tunes. Where Morgan is best known for her work as fiddle player with the Black Twig Pickers, Henson is a prolific and experimental solo artist, having most recently put out her boldest effort yet with Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars, a collection of heavily manipulated electric guitar pieces. The cocktail is a fascinating one when applied to these old rural songs, but the pair are careful not to allow the instrumentation to overwhelm them. Instead, the resultis a diverse collection that benefits from intelligent and creative treatment. And the musical telepathy between Sally Anne and Sarah Louise is evident throughout Across the Field; take the pairing of picked electric guitar and banjo on opener ‘Two Sisters’, a tune often studied and here taken from a 1955 North Carolina ballad version. Although the emphasis is on the vocal harmonies and the arrangement is simple, the modern sound of the electric guitar sat alongside the traditional old-time sound of the claw hammer banjo is effective in its bridging of the past and present.
