    Opener The Vain Jackdaw, based on an Aesop fable, recorded unaccompanied on a rooftop, is delightful, but elsewhere the mood remains relentlessly forlorn.

    That voice [of Marry Waterson]--sometimes sharp and slightly acrid, often warm and consoling, even when passing a dispassionate eye over the tales it tells--is the real magic here. [Nov 2017, p.39]

    Part of Death's triumph is its unadornment, which allows the songs to glimmer as rough diamonds.

    Throughout, Waterson’s command wrenches, cossets and hugely impresses.
