	June Tabor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		June Tabor (born 1947) is an English folk singer.
		Starting in 1977 Martin Simpson joined her in the recording studio for three albums before he moved to America in 1987 to be with his American wife Jessica.
		In 1992 Elvis Costello wrote "All this Useless Beauty" specifically for June, and she recorded it on "Angel Tiger".

	George Graham Reviews June Tabor's "Aleyn"
		Tabor serves up a generous collection of songs from various sources, including a bit more traditional material than she has done in the recent past, along with songs by composers such as Richard Thompson and Ralph McTell.
		Tabor and her producer John Ravenhall, felt that the spirit and "spark" of the music was captured best live before an audience.
		June Tabor's new album Aleyn is another remarkable recording from one of the most memorable voices to come from the English folk scene.

	June Tabor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		June Tabor began singing traditional music in her teens as a floor singer, when the only folk songs she knew were "Kumbaya" and "Michael Row the Boat Ashore", which she had learned from television.
		While a student in Oxford, June encountered a large and diverse folk community, and a simpler vocal style began to appeal to her as she moved in the direction of the exquisite, controlled singing that today is her trademark.
		Tabor chooses her material with as much precision as she sings, and in fact many critics and musicians keep an interested eye on the songwriters whose material she selects.

		The same June Tabor who purloined our hearts and escorted them on a roller coast of joy, despair, triumph and disaster in one of those glorious experiments that sound good in theory, but all too rarely hit the jackpot, when she linked up with the Creative Jazz Orchestra.
		June's second solo album Ashes And Diamonds showed a desire to extend herself and expand her repertoire with sophisticated arrangements and accompaniment and by the '8Os she was working in an inventive duo with the renowned guitarist / singer, Martin Simpson.
		June Tabor is now embedded in the Welsh Borders with her beloved cats and dogs, passionate about the countryside, still intently keen to portray the world's grief and glory in that unique style which claws the heart-strings and grips the soul.

	June Tabor - Gothic Melancholy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Tabor demonstrates her complete mastery of the folk idiom, both assimilating and improvising off the vocal phrasing and timing of traditional singers of the original folk revival such as Belle Stewart and Jeannie Robertson.
		Tabor and Simpson are joined on the set by Jon Davie on bass, Dave Bristow on piano and synthesizer and Ric Sanders, a young fiddle player, at the time part of the Albion Band, but soon to make a name for himself as a member of the mighty Fairport Convention.
		Tabor's contribution; "Rosie Anderson" is a classic tale of lost love that would not be out of place on her solo album of that same year.

		It is typical of June that she decided to drop the song from her set -- a guaranteed show-stopper -- in case its impact became diluted by over-familiarity.
		Testament to June's range and versatility is the way she switches from incredible intensity to the light-hearted songs and melting harmonies which define her work with Maddy Prior as Silly Sisters.
		This is the same June Tabor who belted her highly-individual brand of rock with the full-force backing of the Oyster Band, and the singer that swept seamlessly from traditional songs to popular classics like Somewhere Over the Rainbow with the Creative Jazz Orchestra.

	George Graham Reviews June Tabor's "Rosa Mundi"
		Tabor's voice is remarkably powerful in its almost aloof subtlety, as she delivers these songs in the musical setting that has been called "chamber folk," and yet they can leave a lasting impact on the listener.
		Tabor and her colleagues imbue the song with all the requisite melancholy.
		Tabor more than makes up for it in her remarkable delivery, imparting great power through subtlety, with the piano and string arrangements making for all the more distinctive listening.

	Arts Unlimited \| Arts reviews \| June Tabor, Barbican, London
		June Tabor's voice is an extraordinarily dark, warm and evocative vehicle for songs that have meaning.
		Tabor's conscientious yet passionate exploration of history's multiple narratives is made more affecting by the subtlety and richness of Warren's voicings on the church Steinway.
		The Border Widow's Lament, from Tabor's latest album An Echo of Hooves, is delicate and resigned: the timeless tale of a woman who must bury her dead husband, unfolding against Warren's fluid piano part and within the autumnal timbres of Tabor's matchless voice.

		I've been a follower of June Tabor's work for scarce a decade now, and it is only after more than one listening (and a careful one at that) that I made up my mind that this is probably her best record to date.
		June Tabor (with her haunting, powerful vocals) acts as the storyteller- describing significant historical events and characters that have an incredible impact.
		I also had no previous knowledge of the lyrical ballads Tabor draws upon to bring life to her songs and these also are incredibly powerful as songwriting tools, which inform as well as entertain (and never in a dull way, if you were wondering).

	June Tabor: A Quiet Eye ---Ink Blot Magazine
		June Tabor is a popular and well-respected traditional British folk singer known for her exquisite taste in material, arrangements, and backing musicians, as well as her interpretation of work by contemporary songwriters.
		For her solo career, Tabor invites outstanding guitarists such as Nic Jones and Martin Simpson on tour and dips into folk-rock with Fairport Convention and the Oyster Band (who perform on her 1990 album).
		June Tabor's voice is a bit like an atom bomb; quite devastating, but hard to deploy and even harder to be around.

	June Tabor, Rosa Mundi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Tabor covers a lot of symbolic ground; different songs on the album present the rose as itself or as an allegory in secular, religious, and romantic life.
		With her cool, resonant voice, Tabor creates an ideal setting for the exploration of various themes surrounding the rose and its allegorical use in tales of love and longing.
		What Tabor really brings to these songs is atmosphere - with the combined effect of Tabor's voice and the spare instrumentation, I couldn't help but feel I should have been listening to the album in a dark, smoky bar somewhere.

	English Folk - June Tabor -> Gordon Tyrall
		June's smoky sensuous voice has rarely sounded better, the choice of songs is superb and the arrangements are impeccable and imaginative.
		June's music is not for the faint of heart - her stark, sensual renderings of often grim lyrics does not make for background music and requires and deserves your attention.
		June's music is not for casual listening - she puts so much into the interpretation of the lyrics that one needs to pay attention to what she is singing in order to get the maximum out of them and what you do get out of them will send icy fingers down your spine.

		Singer June Tabor may be best known as half of the Silly Sisters - the other half is Steeleye Span's Maddy Prior, and the two albums of traditional songs they have recorded are perennial folk bestsellers.
		Even in a genre known for producing excellent female vocalists, Tabor stands out - her voice is lower and huskier than Prior's or Denny's, but shares their purity of tone.
		Tabor is especially known for her interpretations of Richard Thompson songs - most of her albums have one or two.

		June is a leading light on the UK folk scene, although these days she does covers of most writers from Dylan to Elvis Costello to Richard Thompson, and has a truly amazing voice.
		June doesn't put on much of a "show" and is quite a low-key performer, but her concerts tend to draw you in to her music and leave you feeling very satisfied.
		June Tabor's voice is always gorgeous and her interpretations emotional.

		After a long hiatus during the 1980s, June Tabor decided to permanently abandon her career as a librarian as that decade drew to a close.
		Tabor was to produce some winderful work on "Angel Tiger" and "Against The Streams", but that was totally outside the folk realm.
		June is one of very few artists of folk music origin who can sing both traditional and contemporary tunes on the same album with equally high quality.

	June Tabor: Rosa Mundi / RootsWorld Recording Review
		The theme of this release by veteran English vocalist June Tabor is the rose, mostly as symbol of love, youth, or purity.
		Tabor's simple, eloquent vocal reflects the sentimental tone of the cello, but with an equivocal distance that also echoes the Olympian aloofness of the verses, a pair of idealized vignettes framing a life-long love.
		Tabor renders the loss and regret of the Empress Joséphine humanly compelling, as she implores the painter Redouté to immortalize her late husband and herself in an eternal dream of roses.

		This addition to June Tabor's catalog reveals a woman exploring new aspects of her considerable talent while still feeding the roots of the folk tradition in which she grew up.
		A piano and concertina accompaniment provides a stark, dry background to Tabor's voice on "Shameless Love," the album's opening track, and on this song you hear her moving a little bit away from the traditionalism which has dominated so much of her work in the past.
		With or without singer June Tabor, the Oyster Band was impressively consistent in the 1990s.

		In this day of wishy-washy singer/songwriters, it is a joy to hear such a voice devoted to complex story-songs, none of which she has written.
		Tabor has described herself as a "words person." Her earliest professional work focused on the old ballads of her native England, and she has chosen traditional songs for A Quiet Eye.
		Maggie Holland’s "A Place Called England," with its biting critique of the suburbification of the countryside, is emphatically sung and underscored with staccato horn punches.

		Tabor sings standards, such as "Body And Soul," "Night And Day," "I've Got You Under My Skin" and the title track, even a version of "Meditacao," a bossa nova oldie by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
		If you're a Tabor fan, this record will be a delight; non-fans may find her a bit stuffy, but of course, that's part of the charm.
		Tabor's current style of chamber music accompaniment (cello, piano, violin and viola) suits her well, and is employed with a sparing yet stately sense of beauty.

		England's June Tabor is almost always described as a folk singer, but she has none of the spontaneity and playfulness of a true folk artist.
		Tabor is the perfect vocalist for the austere artifice of these two songs and of similar numbers by Texas' Eric Taylor, Australia's Alistair Hulett, and England's Ian Telfer.
		The lyrics of Tabor's songs are as unusual and unexpected as her voice.

		June first came to the attention of the folk music community at the Sidmouth festival in 1967 but she wasn't able to pursue her career fully at the time.
		June committed herself to music fill-time and her solo debut album followed later that year.
		Whether June really is the first lady of British folk music or not (there are others who also have strong claims to that title), she is certainly one of the finest folk singers that Britain has ever produced.

		It is nearly impossible to qualitatively periodize Tabor's recorded output; all of it (with the exception of the record with the Oyster Band) is worth owning.

		Angel Tiger is a perfect example of how well Tabor's voice has aged, becoming deeper and more luscious.
