In the early 1990s, Eliza Carthy, daughter of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, brought a much needed creative shot in the arm to English folk music. She updated traditional tunes with contemporary beats and was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize, for 1998's RED RICE. Five years later she was nominated again, for the aptly titled ANGLICANA, which took a more traditional approach, preferring to focus attention on songs and quality of musicianship rather than contemporary arrangements.
