Make The Light – Kate Rusby
Two years after Sweet Bells, the critically acclaimed Christmas release, Make the Light is Kate Rusby’s first CD comprised entirely of self penned songs. Somewhat randomly it was Jennifer Saunders (whose TV series Jam and Jerusalem Rusby has contributed songs to) who suggested she try doing an entirely self written album. Time off whilst pregnant with her first child gave her the time to do it, resulting in Make the Light.
Long time collaborators are joined by husband Damien O'Kane, who contributes guitar, tenor guitar, tenor banjo and vocals to the album) Songs such as The Mockingird, Only Hope, Let Them Fly and Walk The Road, really showcase Rusby’s songwriting prowess and her beautiful lilting vocals, simultaneously. The arrangements work beautifully with the material and allow us to see a different side to Kate Rusby – a side I hope we get to see more of with future releases.
