Additional information
Personnel: Éloi Painchaud (banjo, harmonica); Joel Zifkin (violin); Brad Albetta (organ, keyboards). Audio Mixer: Brad Albetta. Recording information: Studio 63, St-Sauveur-des-monts, Quebec. Most mothers sing to their children, but not all infants have the privilege of being sung to sleep by revered figures of the contemporary folk scene of the '70s and '80s. Two key things that stepsisters Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche have in common is that (a) they were both fathered by Loudon Wainwright III, and (b) they had remarkably gifted singers for mothers, as Martha's mom was Kate McGarrigle (who recorded a handful of brilliant albums with her sister Anna), while Lucy was born to Suzzy Roche (who was one third of the fine sibling vocal trio the Roches). While Martha and Lucy have made splendid music on their own, they've teamed up for the first time as the Wainwright Sisters to record a collection of lullabies, and Songs in the Dark is a lovely and surprising set of tunes for late at night. While most recordings of lullabies tend to lean to the sweet and toothless, that isn't the case here; while there are many moments of peace and beauty on this set, a recurring theme here is that a baby can hear your tone but doesn't know quite what you're saying, and as a consequence a tired and cranky mama may be murmuring about how much she wishes the kids would finally go to sleep ("Baby Rocking Medley" and "Lullaby") or that only the cruelest of fates await a growing child ("End of the Rainbow"), or sharing a folk song that's a lot darker than you might remember ("Go Tell Aunt Rhody"). But for every dark or cynically funny moment here, there's another that honestly touches the heart, and if "El Condor Pasa" and "Our Mother the Mountain" aren't usually thought of as lullabies, they're lovely and evocative in this context, while "Runs in the Family" is an honest but lovely testament to the bonds of family. The songs are wrapped up in gorgeous harmonies from Martha and Lucy, and the arrangements and production are spare and all the more effective for it. Most recordings of lullabies are long on charm and short on substance, but the Wainwright Sisters have made an album that will suit a thoughtful mom or dad as much as a restless youngster, and Songs in the Dark is something special from two remarkable talents. ~ Mark Deming

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
