Alasdair Roberts' third solo album since the demise of his band Appendix Out draws, like its predecessors, on the British folk tradition. But this selection of eight shaggy-dog stories - unravelling at an appropriately funereal pace - lacks the dynamism and subtlety of Farewell Sorrow. Nothing exposes the weaknesses in a voice like a really slow song, and Roberts' weedy warble evokes the wheezing tedium of a slow death rather too well - especially when accompanied by the dry scrape of cello, a tinfoil crinkle of guitar and death-rattle percussion. No Earthly Man's worthy wallow.

Scottish singer/songwriter Alasdair Roberts has been quietly resurrecting the organic British folk of late-'60s and early-'70s traditionalists like Planxty and Dick Gaughan since his 1996 debut with the rural-folk combo Appendix Out. Like his American counterpart and frequent collaborator Will Oldham, his songs belong in neither the past nor the present, rather they cling to the listener like the ghosts of a sepia-toned future. On the quietly electrifying No Earthly Man, Roberts takes on eight classic murder ballads from the British Isles with dizzying results. Unlike Oldham, Roberts can actually sing, and it's his fluid and affecting tenor that makes each one of these brutal and long-winded tales of love, treachery and death so listenable.
