Tabor has also performed jazz and art song, generally with a sparse and sombre tone to it. Her 2003 album "An Echo of Hooves" marked a return to the traditional ballad form after she concentrated on other styles for several years. It was highly acclaimed. "Allmusic" described it as, "A stunning jewel in a remarkable career, and one of the best things Tabor's ever released." She next released "Always" (2005), a boxed set of four CDs that span her career and contain rare recordings.
