When Sydney
Carter died in March
2004, his obituary in The
Guardian anointed him
'folk poet, holy sceptic,
and iconoclastic
theologian'. The man who
once called himself
'God's loyal opposition'
might have thought that a
bit excessive, but there
is some truth there and
it is likely he wouldn't
have minded too much.
Franciscus Henri knew the
songs on this CD forty
years ago. In 1972 he was
chosen accompanist on
Sydney's tour of
Australia. These songs
are part of the
performer's continuing
journey.
