◆本CDについて◆
三面紙ジャケット仕様(12.5×14cm)。ブックレット(全16頁)に歌詞(英語)、各曲クレジット、「Thanks to」。
マリー・ウォーターソンとデイヴィッド・A・ジェイコックのコラボレーション第1作、2015年5月録音。#4、6、9、15にサイモン・エドワーズ(フェアーグラウンド・アトラクション)が参加しています。その後2017年に第2作『Death Had Quicker Wings Than Love』(プロデュースはポーティスヘッドのエイドリアン・アトリー)が出ています。
マリー・ウォーターソンはラル・ウォーターソンの娘で、ラルはノーマ&マイク・ウォーターソン(本CD#9にマイクが歌うバラッド「タムリン(Tamlyn)」(1977年録音)の断片が挿入されています)の妹で、マーティン・カーシーの義妹。ウォーターソン・ファミリーは英国フォーク界の名家ですが、自分などはそういう相関図みたいなのは苦手なのでよくわからないです。しかし本作はマリー&デイヴィッドの二匹狼(※)による自然発生的なメロディが心地よい、やや鬱傾向のアシッド・フォークというかゴースト・フォークの名盤であるなと思いました。
※「Two Wolves」の歌詞によると心の中の二匹の狼(良い狼と悪い狼)のことで、良い狼を育てよう、という教訓的な内容のようですが、どっちにしても狼(人間社会のアウトサイダー)が前提となっているところがよいです。
The Honey And The Seaweed
Teen & The Thief
「And if it's all too demanding, in the outside world
Let us make our inner world our concern」
Two Wolves
「The Wolf of evil and jealousy
will poison your ability to see
that greed leads on to sorrow
Every day in every way
there are choices to be made
that resonate in all your tomorrows
Ah-woo-oo, two wolves
Sorrow or serenity
Ah-woo-oo, two wolves
Ego or empathy
And the fight goes on and on and on
inside me」
「Which ome will you feed?
And the fight goes on and on
in you and me」
