With new album Lodestar, Shirley has created the unlikeliest release of the century so far. Shirley explains the history of the song: "This is an ancient ballad, found only rarely in England. Born in Hastings in 1935, Shirley was fascinated by folk songs as she was growing up, songs she heard on the radio or sung by her grandparents in Anderson shelters.

Additional InformationFirst album in nearly 40 years from the U.K. folk icon finds her older but no less commanding in her embrace of traditional songs.

Reviews"Here she embraces the intensity that comes at her 81 years of age, cracks in her voice embraced rather than papered over for a deeply fixating, commanding listen.", "At 81, Collins’ voice has grit and grain, both old and strangely ageless. There is the sense that she has stood still, and folk has revolved around her.", "What’s striking is how her voice, which once epitomized the prototypical fair young maiden, remains just as compellingly austere but has now come to embody the much richer archetype of the wise old woman, with all the knowing tenderness, subtle humor and wry stoicism that entails."
