Album Review by Rosie Adsett

Wayfaring Stranger
ONE STOP ENTERTAINMENT

Many will remember Emma Hannah from her many television appearances, including The Don Lane Show, The Ernie Sigley Show, and Reg Lindsay's Country Homestead. Emma was an integral part of the folk movement of the 1960s and 70s, but her beautiful classically trained voice has adapted to many styles of music, and that includes country. In other circumstances this 15 track CD might be dismissed as a covers album, however Emma takes well known songs like Phil Collins' Another Day In Paradise, or Paul Simon's Slip Slidin' Away and makes them her own. Henry Lawson's Andy's Gone With Cattle and the beautiful O Waly Waly (The Water Is Wide) have never sounded better than on this recording, however, my pick of he songs are the traditional Negro spiritual, All My Trials, and the gorgeous Amazing Grace, which are both sung by Emma with clarity and dignity.
The talented Bob Howe is not only the producer of this delightful album, he did arrangements for the songs, and played guitar. I was cranky and stressed when I started listening to Wayfaring Stranger, but by the time the album had finished I was a much calmer and nicer person!
