An Echo of Hooves is a 2003 album by folk singer June Tabor.
There were many albums consisting entirely of Child ballads in the 60s and 70s.
The "Allmusic" said of this album "A stunning jewel in a remarkable career, and one of the best things Tabor’s ever released."
June's singing is relatively undemonstrative, especially considering that murder is the main theme.
The instrumental accompaniment is a counterpoint to the singing, rather than directly supportive of the tunes.
