Album Notes
An aptly-named 1994 anthology, the 14-track TRAWLER has been in some ways rendered superfluous by meatier collections like GRANITE YEARS and the two-disc PEARLS FROM THE OYSTER, but in its very conciseness, it puts across all that is right about this British folk-rock band much better than either of those more sprawling compilations. Eschewing chronological order in favor of a more thematic layout, TRAWLER leads the listener from the band's early, good-timey trad-folk gems like "Hal-an-Tow" and a rerecorded version of "Another Quiet Night In England" through a set of darker-hued and less folky tunes like the compelling "We Could Leave Right Now" and into the more strident and politicized material that enhanced the group's later, more powerful albums. From the no-nonsense "Coal Not Dole" to an impassioned cover of New Order's opaque "Love Vigilantes," singer John Jones, violinist Ian Telfer, and their bandmates manage to fuse the personal and political in a manner devoid of empty sloganeering.
