Shirley Collins’ Heart’s Ease, her second album since returning after a 38-year hiatus, is a bold and confident follow-up to 2016’s Lodestar. Blending traditional English and American folk with original compositions and subtle experimentation, Collins proves her enduring brilliance. Highlights include lyrics by her late husband Austin John Marshall, a haunting sea ballad, and the ambient closer Crowlink. A powerful reminder of her unmatched place in British folk music.
