Dave & Toni Arthur - Morning Stands On Tiptoe
’Twas a rare 1967 folk album…
Originally released on the Transatlantic label, this 51- track album was well known in traditional folk circles, as it collected together many old English folk songs covering the shadowy worlds of poaching, bare-knuckle fighting and transvestite sailors.
The oral tradition of passing songs down the years certainly deserves to be maintained, as the recent Topic box set attests, but these songs do come from a very different time – their earnest deliveries not always sitting well with modern ears. Dave and Toni sing both separately and together, mostly unaccompanied, with Toni’s voice having a beguiling, husky quality to it. Traditional folk appreciators will welcome this release, which adds both sides of a more pop-folk orientated 1965 single they cut as The Strollers, but others may find there are too many nouns preceding their adjectives in the main fare offered here.
