WOW! What a great CD! I have just spent an hour listening to it, and another hour listening to it again with Vanessa, and I am ready for the third listen-through. The quality of recording and production is ACE. The quality of performances, well what can I say other than I'd travel to listen to any and all of the performers on it. Sure, John Conolly, Colin & Karen Thompson, Whaley & Fletcher, Winter/Wilson I already knew and they need no praise from me. Neither does Miranda Sykes, whom I'd like to call a mate now that we've collaborated, and whose talent is limitless (the bitch - and her only 26 years old!).

But I had not heard Cara before; or Simon Johnson (bastard! lovely song and wonderful voice). Or Kate Abbott....And Liam Robinson's track is such a fitting "closer"!

And then, what a glorious collection of songs! This CD should be a must for anyone wanting a good cross-style sampler of English folk music - never mind Lincolnshire.

Les, I bow to your achievement.

Everyone else: Contact Villan and get a copy NOW!
I was wrong in my opening sentence: This is a f***ing GREAT album!
