Damn Fine
This is a gorgeous folk album, Beth Malcolm having a fine, fine voice (damn fine, perhaps best in not wanting to repeat ‘gorgeous’ which it is), and at times there is a very slight Country inflection there which I also like. There’s a live track here Choose My Company which demonstrates how good she is, this accompanied by jazz ensemble Fat-Suit.
Winner of ‘Scots Singer of the Year’ in 2022, Beth is from Perth and thus the award is spot-on for quality and place of birth. Workers’ Song is doubly inspirational in its delivery and in its narrative at a time of workers struggling and fighting for their rights across the UK.
