''Cruel Sister'', the first album by English folk group Rachel Unthank and the Winterset (later to become The Unthanks) was released on 11 May 2005 and launched at Holmfirth Folk Festival.() It received support from a number of DJs on BBC Radio 2 and was subsequently awarded Folk Album of the Year by ''MOJO''. "Cruel Sister", the song which provides the title for the album, is a traditional ballad (known in some versions as "The Twa Sisters"). It tells the story of the violent rivalry between two sisters for the love of a knight. One of the sisters murders her sibling, whose bones and hair are turned into a harp by a passing musician. The ballad was collected by Francis J. Child (Child 10) and is also listed in the Roud Folk Song Index.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vwml.org/search/search-roud-indexes )〕 == Track listing == # "On a Monday Morning" (Cyril Tawney, arranged by Rachel and Becky Unthank/Belinda O'Hooley), 3:13 # "January Man" (Dave Goulder, arranged by Rachel Unthank), 3:31 # "Fair Rosamund" (Roud 3729) (Traditional, arranged by Rachel Unthank/Belinda O'Hooley), 2:57 # "Cruel Sister" (Roud 8) (Traditional, arranged by Rachel Unthank), 8:41 # "Rap Her to Bank" (Roud 1786) (Traditional, arranged by Becky Unthank), 1:34 # "Raven Girl" (Unknown/Ester Watson), 2:08 # "Twenty Long Weeks" (Alex Glasgow, arranged by Rachel and Becky Unthank/Belinda O'Hooley), 3:20 # "The Fair Flower of Northumberland" (Roud 25, Child 9) (Traditional, arranged by Rachel Unthank), 4:51 # "The Greatham Calling on Song" (Roud 610) (Traditional, arranged by Rachel and Becky Unthank), 5:58 # "Riverman" (Nick Drake, published by Island, arranged by Rachel and Becky Unthank), 5:01 # "Bonny at Morn" (Roud 3064) (Traditional, arranged by Rachel Unthank), 4:14 # "John Dead" (Traditional, arranged by Rachel and Becky Unthank), 3:47 # "Troubled Waters" (Matt McGinn, arranged by Rachel and Becky Unthank), 5:06 ''Running time: 54:30'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cruel Sister (Rachel Unthank and the Winterset album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
