Comment:

She possesses highly developed senses of humour and humanity, a first-class honours degree in philosophy, and a great blend of indie and roots influences — all of which makes Stirlingshire's Karine Polwart one of the most captivating crossover folkies at work today. Her solo debut, [i]Faultlines[/i] (2003), was astonishing for the way she tackled hard subjects with a soft touch (depression and alcoholism on "The Sun's Comin' Over the Hill"), and her narrative and descriptive skills have made the country-styled "John C Clark (The Gasman Song)" a fan favourite. Polwart's roots in traditional Scottish music are evident on both 2007's [i]Fairest Floo'er[/i] ("Dowie Dens of Yarrow") and "The Bonnie Lass of Fyvie/The Silver Spear" from [i]Last Leaves[/i] (2000), recorded during her pre-solo days with Edinburgh-based Malinky.
