Tip! This is the second in the new series of the label's reissue albums on vinyl. Mae'r Olwyn yn Troi (The Wheel Turns), Heather Jones' first album, was released in 1974, and Sain is proud to celebrate the record's 50th year in 2024. It is regarded as one of the classic albums of the 70s - the songs, the instrumentation, the arrangements, the musicianship and the production reaching such a high standard.
The real star of the album is, of course, Heather herself. Her amazing pure voice and her direct and subtle style shines through. She also showed her composing skills on songs such as 'Mynd yn ôl i'r Dre' (Going back to the town) and 'Nos Ddu' (Black Night) and her spell-binding arrangements of folk songs 'Tra bo dau' (While there are two) and 'Aderyn Pur' (Gentle Dove), songs she had sung since her school days. Heather has always enjoyed a mixture of styles and has been able to move freely and successfully from folk to rock and jazz, as this album shows. She was also one of the first female solo artists in Wales to front a band, although she also often performed solo.
