Cavalier

"She sings with a gentle passion that you draw in like a soft breath of clear, fresh air. Every genre she performs, she's totally comfortable. This is an album that moves in several directions, and each time it's a journey of discovery. After almost 40 years as a performer, Cavalier proves that Eddi Reader's talent as a singer, arranger and writer has never diminished, her music shines bright as ever".

"Even though she's celebrating 40 years in the limelight, it's still hard to categorise Eddi Reader's music (and pigeonholing is bad anyway). But (...) her albums are almost but not entirely unlike folk music (or folk rock, or acoustic pop, or smoky jazz or...). However, they're always superbly enjoyable. Eddi's warm, honeyed, languid voice continues to put her own emotional stamp on diverse material, continuing her usual practice of mixing up new songs with traditional songs and, of course, Robbie Burns ... With over 25 musicians (of the calibre of McCusker, McGoldrick and Cunningham) and backing vocals from Annie Grace and Siobhan Miller, the arrangements are full and varied, but absolutely spot on and never detract from the singing. "Cavalier" is a lovely laid-back album to warm the heart as the nights draw in".
