The Singing Postman - Fertilising Liza

Review by jan westerbarkey

Fertilising Liza by Singing Postman is a delightful album that captures the essence of folk music. The album is a compilation of 14 tracks, each one unique in its own way. Singing Postman, also known as Allan Smethurst, has done an excellent job of blending traditional folk music with his unique style of storytelling.

The album opens with the title track Fertilising Liza, a song that tells the story of a farmer who falls in love with a woman named Liza. The song is an excellent introduction to the album, and sets the tone for what is to come. The next track, The Wishing Well, is a beautiful ballad that showcases Smethurst's vocal range.

One of the standout tracks on the album is The Ballad of Billy Fry, a haunting tale of a man who is falsely accused of a crime. The song is a perfect example of Smethurst's ability to weave a compelling story through his music. Another standout track is The Old Man's Tale, which tells the story of an elderly man reflecting on his life.
