“Wonderful breathy phrasing and clear enunciation married a husky, beautiful voice that was as comfortable with jazz as it was with folk music. In essence, her singing was exceptional” Virtually ignored beyond her native Australia and in America, Marian Henderson has provided folk fans worldwide with a brief, but inspired soundtrack. Her jazz background has also invited profound accolades from numerous musicians, but for all the applause, Henderson’s recorded legacy remains sadly short. Her 1970 album Cameo reveals a precious simplicity and depth that deserves far greater recognition than she received during her career. Alongside valuable interpretations of Sandy Denny’s Fotheringay, Leonard Cohen’s The Stranger and First Girl I Loved (Incredible String Band) Cameo offers a sublime collection of numerous traditionals that Henderson gives new life to. Stoned Circle very proudly presents the first-ever reissue of Marian Henderson’s astounding 1970 album Cameo. Accompanying a fully re-mastered Cameo, we present a collection of her other rare recorded appearances from the 1964 Pix magazine E.P.s and her appearances on The Restless Years and Old Botany Bay. Professionally re-mastered with background liners and rare archival photos.
