Limited edition of 500 copies! Completely digitally remastered and including a previously unreleased bonus-track! 12 traditional folk-songs by Sally Doherty & the Sumacs – famous as singer of SIEBEN and for her 4 albums on World Serpent and various collaborations with Tony Wakeford, L’Orchestre Noir, Matt Howden, Sieben etc. ‘Black is the colour’ is a fine collection of folk tunes from Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, and Mexico .... One of the most beautiful cuts has to be ‘I Held My Love’—a purely vocal track in which Doherty’s solo vocal soars above a choir of her own multi-tracked voice. ...Dark and haunting ‘Black is the Colour’ is as absorbing as it is beautiful! Her crystal-clear-produced voice and the beautifully mixed instruments such as strings, flutes, piano and the percussion instruments speak for themselves.
