Tom Paley is 87, and one of the great survivors of the American folk scene. He played on stage with Woody Guthrie, sang with Lead Belly, and was one of the founders of the New Lost City Ramblers. And he is still on remarkably fine form, as shown by this entertaining, no-nonsense set in which he is joined by a small band that includes his fiddle-playing son, Ben. Paley is a great storyteller and entertainer as well as an impressive multi-instrumentalist, and the selection here ranges from murder ballads to reminders of his famously risque sense of humour. There’s a rousing version of This Train, on which Tom duets with Cerys Matthews, and a dash of black humour added to the bleak story of Little Sadie. But the best is saved until last, with his solo treatment of the old Mississippi John Hurt lament Louis Collins.
