Gift (CD)
The contrast between the cover portrait of beaming mother and daughter and the piteous ballads inside couldn't be greater. Not all of Gift is downbeat - there's a crazed segue of "Ukulele Lady" and Amen Corner's "(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice" - but its core tracks are preoccupied with mortality. Traditional songs like "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" and "Bunch of Thyme" lament life's passing, as does Longfellow's "Psalm of Life", while for distraction come a couple of murder ballads.
