She spent most of her time at Disco’Thé, a record shop in the Latin Quarter, a free space, peaceful and inspiring, a hub for students as well as the local artistic community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTia Blake's haunting, unaffected voice captivates and comforts us, wrapping us in its cool embrace. Meanwhile, the tasteful, stripped-down, mellow acoustic arrangements provided by the guitarists, have created the space Tia Blake needed to reinvent these traditional songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolksongs and Ballads is a timeless record, deep and unique, a longtime companion for repeated listening, in the vein of works by Sibylle Baier, Bridget St. John and Vashti Bunyan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ici Bientôt","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":55723616239958,"sku":"MRM-08750","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6088\/9430\/files\/SRD_20261006_1419_134357_854_p_IBCD03_003.jpg?v=1791890857","url":"https:\/\/monorailmusic.com\/products\/tia-blake-and-her-folk-group-folksongs-ballads","provider":"Monorail Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
