Chanteur & fiddler Country anglaise, installée en Virginie (USA).
You've got to hand it to Alex
Caton. Not only is she a Brit infiltrating the Virginia old-timey music scene,
her solo album does it with real panache, taking all the rules and throwing them
away. So that means alongside familiar pieces like "Bob Tailed Mule" you'll find
an original work like "Hitch to the Altar" (which fits very neatly alongside the
traditional tunes) or covers of the Rolling Stones and the Cure -- which don't
fit so easily, but somehow still manage to sound just right -- which is very
impressive, given that her Cure cover is "Boys Don't Cry." As a fiddler, Caton
is an understated player whose work possesses the kind of swing many would kill
to have, and her Vocals don't have any high lonesome pretensions; instead, she
sings in a natural way, relaxed and often soothing. In fact, the cuts where she
sings work better than when Pat Egan takes over the Vocals chores. But, whether
it's strictly old-time or not, Caton has released a quiet corker of a solo disc.
