Great Grandson Of Morris On (CD)
It's hard to deny that Morris On was a truly pioneering album and that 'Son' and 'Grandson' have been subject to the law of diminishing returns. Nevertheless, with morris music enjoying a higher profile than for 20-odd years nobody can begrudge Ashley Hutchings for returning to the genre. For heaven's sake, if it wasn't for what he and John Kirkpatrick did to drag an ossifying tradition into the 20th century, the current revival wouldn't have happened. Grandson has a cast of stalwart figures, several like Simon Care and Fairport's Chris Leslie are wholly steeped in Morris music whilst others like Phil Beer are simply damn good musicians. Some might find it a bit pedestrian - but this isn't grandstanding music, it's there to accompany dancing - and it's about the whole ensemble - not virtuoso playing. Almost all the tunes are from the ever reliable Trad. Arr. but my particular favourite is 'Little Johnny England'. This is described as 'a playground song at Moulton Primary School, Northants.' As someone whose son is at a primary school less than 10 miles away I can report that, beneath Kylie and Britney, the oral tradition remains alive - kids still sing it in the playground!
